A Universe Within

Although I've never had you
I went away from you today
My mind was simply led astray
I swore you'd never leave my mind
-I guess ideals are hard to find

But now the house has gone to sleep
Violin songs play with you in me, deep 
And when I return it's to you love,
A love that "overthrows life"
Overturns stones
Where under me the paradise 
Lost & overgrown
Now lives forever in night
Shaking off time like tendril vines
Sifting off to you like moonlight

Deep inside, our darkest fights
Left to dusty encampments alone
Were only the shed cells of midnight
Falling in sleep
To nothingness, gone 

Turnstiles admit 
No fool to your dance! 
Statues inside me 
Crumble or advance;
From lifeless moods 
That moved only by chance-
To the peace that inhabits
Every atom of your glance! 

O' universe of light
Expanding beyond the walls 
Of the finite
-not far from inside of your soul tonight
Inside 
In a sacred nothingness 
You reside
Where sometimes
Imagination will imply;
Without you the rain would cease
And all of my fields would die
