We unaccustomed to courage








Exiles from delight






Live coiled in shells of loneliness






Until love leaves its high holy temple


And comes into our sight


To liberate us into life








Love arrives






And in its train come ecstasies






Old memories of pleasure






Ancient histories of pain






Yet if we are bold






Love strikes away and breaks every chain






From our heavenly soul








We are weaned from our timidity







In the flush of loves sigh light


We dare to be brave


And suddenly we see







That love costs all we are

And will ever be

Yet it is only love

Which set us free
