Beautiful Frail Things ~

I have drunk joy today

I have mastered fate

I have known what it is 

to conquer and create ~

Sometimes I ask myself 

after days like this 

have I any longer need 

of his sweet, tender kiss?

But when I see tired eyes a

quickened with light 

as a lover's footstep 

sounds through the night 

or when I hear a little child 

laughing alone

telling what it may be 

when it is grown 

then I no longer doubt 

that my love must be: 

beautiful frail things 

have need of me ~
