Distant Devoted

Distant Devoted

My distant Love! Achievement you’ll be called,

When Dream and Truth will come to date at Sunset,

So that the Longing will at last behold

And will be Anguish in her Presence mastered.

 

What is “Today”? just Shadow of the Past:

It’s Distance long, the Shapes get smashed and rigid, –

Glide in their Yearning over the earthly Crust

And try to cut and pierce what could be reached…

 

But Heart’s alive inside the pulsing Soul –

Her Warmth desires to fly to Light through Burning:

Eternal Dawn for her is crazy Goal

And vernal Throne awaits her in the Morning.

 

The Distance – Ghost – will be overcome,

Those daunting Blades dissolved will be, forgotten:

Revealed Tomorrow can be just for Some –

Those who’re in Love and to whom’s Love devoted!..
