We are here to endure the beams of love.,– William Blake
Rays of kindness so intense
one glimpse could melt the thousand-
year ice of a cruel glare instantly,
beams so strong they hold up the whole
of celestial sky without strain or complaint
as though this is what they were made for,
and they were. And we are
here as mere witnesses to these flames,
here to withstand the sheer delight of it all.
And we will fail. For this sort of love leaves
no survivors.
