Ask me to stem the great Ocean’s Tide
Ask me to halt the
Moon’s silver Ride
Ask me to bless the Blind
with clear Sight
Ask me to banish all
Darkness from Night
Ask me to heal the
Wounds of the World
Ask me to find the
Oyster’s sweet Pearl
Ask me to live
without Water or Air
Ask me to cut off my
Breath or my Hair
But ask me not ever
to cease loving you
For that is the one thing
I never could do.
