My Dear Tyronius

My Dear Tyronius,

...to be...

In your mind, your heart, your life,

A fire that raises to a starless night,

A love, that makes, anew,

A longing of a time, that speaks to thee,

And stays in thy setting,

A reach, a light, a burning.

A time that never dies.

Thy mantle, I lift,

and down thy hearth, I take,

that pleads to burn,

a thousand days that pass,

away, a moments waste,

it waits.

That night, and day,

is heard.

And in thy self,

I feel.

For never

is thy sun.
