Odes to Abby Chapter IV

Moek

Every breath that I breathe
Every intention I behold
Every action I take
You are with me
Not in the way side, or by the cause
Nor a wish, whisper, prayer or guile
but embroiled
as a furnace
in the molten gravity
of what is
Now

    The last five lines can be taken in a number of ways. Their meaning can vary depending on the reading of them which are open to interpretation.
    A good poem with a rich, poetic language.
    Good read!
