Severus Alexander

(Darkness shall have more to keep
Than ever light could borrow).

And what futures, now uncertain lie in wait

For wishing -- Not dreaming, as outside of sleep --

No little death we die upon reaching that which, not secret, but un-found we seek;

And unlike a dream that ends, a wish we may forever keep

  • Comment from author about the poem: A wish lives with you; it is a becoming. A dream is a little death. An ending. Not a decaying-- but a soil-laying.
