An act with no intent <br />no objective <br />nor desire of appearance <br />bereft of my conceit <br />that it should succeed <br />or my fatalism <br />of sureness it must fail. <br />An act so complete <br />that no fault is found <br />nor trace it leaves <br />as its act in action <br />strikes with all its might <br />destroyer of night. <br />What act is this <br />that of itself <br />would completion make <br />It is an act of grace; <br />that surrender <br />simply for surrender's sake.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/destroyer-of-the-night/
