To the Father of My Children

To the father of my children: Open up your willing heart! Take what music I can give you, Hearing, too, my silent song. Even as, arrayed in passion, Finding love, I play my part, A wonder like a wind whips through me, Truth unknown for which I long. How beautiful, this unspent yearning, Ever for the darkness burning, Rising like a summer storm! Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
