The world is burning and I’m in love

,

The world is burning and I’m in love.

What else can I do?

I’m in love with the world, those around, and the non-existent.

What else can I say?

How can I learn not to drown in this illusion of life?

I see myself slip-slipping into infinite pools of slumbering beauty; it is only Thou that can save me from her Seas of Black.

And yet I still turn my blind eye every now and then

like I’m not in love with it All.
