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.
