You hold the torch.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



You hold the torch.

A mighty woman with a torch, here you stand; you never make any demands. I am in prisoned by the whispers of your name. How can I compare it to a cool summer day? And the rough winds do shake the buds of May. I see a ray of light come from between the clouds, and I want to shout out your name in the middle of every day. Please stay, if only for one more day.

    I have a lot of love. But only in my words. My fear is I can't show it.
