Madeline Violet has come down to Earth, A pinpoint of passion possessed by her need, Destined to be the sweet husk of a seed Eternally living through birth after birth. Love her -- this angel that innocent came Into the world, though not by her will! Now in the grasp of your wisdom and skill, Enduring her first tastes of beauty and pain. Vested in you is a trust none can keep, Immense as a universe, vast as a quark, Of the bonfire of being, one brief, playful spark, Lovely with longing so frail one must weep. Even as you vow more love than you know, The angel is dancing to music below. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
