Surrender

When you kiss me I am blind. My senses Are filled with ecstasy. I only feel how strong my life is, And so know myself. From love I understand all things that live. And even the dead.

I am like a tree Shaken in wind. Or like water that is drawn into the air Through the strong loving of the sun.

When you are gone, I am myself earthquake and eclipse, And all cold darkness, and rending grief.

When you kiss me I am blind. I am blind!
