About the Book

How often do I see the morning sun
In flaming robes ride forth dispelling night
And muse how thoughts of you with purer light
Suffuse dark gloom that my despair has spun;
How tensions, pettiness, cares, doubts, and all
A day's discomfiture with wracking spell
Swift vanish to oblivion, as well
As each distraction that does me befall;
But witness how each eve our suns descend
And disappear while thoughts of you upon
My mind remain in myriad forms where-on
Old memories and new dreams ever tend;
So let fates deal their worst, I'll see them through
And ne'er exchange those fates, they brought me you.
