We, unaccustomed to courage
from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our ouls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
will ever be.
that love costs all we are
and
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.
