Walt, <br />I think you knew <br />something sacred <br />and arcane. <br />You knew the <br />dark mystery <br />of love, its <br />gentle, murderous, <br />illusory truth. <br /> <br />I think <br />you understood the <br />tempestuous <br />temporal <br />nature of passion, <br />the value of <br />each <br />fleeting <br />act of tenderness. <br /> <br />And you, <br />reader, <br />who are not so far <br />from me, <br />lend me the <br />kindness of your eyes <br />so that I may <br />take a leap <br />without feet <br />and fly <br />with no wings.<br /><br />Ann ...<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/letter-to-walt-whitman/
