AFFINITY.
Somewhere in space you wait for me—An instinct of the inner I— Perhaps on some forgotten shore Where only waves and winds pass by; Or it may be that purple hills Thrusting sword points into the blue, Have held you coldly, and aloof, And safe from my desire of you. You are a shadowy port my thoughts Seek like a river in the night; You are an unlit torch that waits My hand to burst in blooms of light . . . I send the vagrant waves and winds All searching, to remind you There will be jewelled stairs of love I wonder will they find you? —Anderson M. Scruggs, in the Will-o’-the-Wisp.
