Doth If Not
Doth if not thrill thee, Poet,
Dead and dust through thy art
to feel how I press thy singing
Close to my heart
Doth if not see thee, Beauty,
Life and youth thy presence tell
to feel your gracefullness
and your radiance hail
Doth if not feel thee, Proud,
Bloody and tired after fought
I feel your anger as you rage
violent pacing within a cage
Doth if not loath thee, Time,
That span in which we do wait
I fear that I may not master thee
but only learn your unstopableness
Doth if not envy thee, Love,
The subject of all stories
the main ingredient in any glory
a painful woe and often worry
Doth if not doubt thee, God,
Who speaketh all into being
from atoms to the universe
principlaities and powers, who rules?
Doth if not worry thee, Man,
from day to day trying to understand
his heart with his mind, two seperate things
God's way of compromise
