I have shadowed (3/22/86)

I
have shadowed
the tears
that have fallen
as deep
as blood;
From the eyes of life;
Containing
the colorlessness
of clear purity;
I
have given
my love as so.
Never
has it failed to give
and gain
even as taken
in no meaning
insite of my own;
And to yearn
life will pass
not by me
but through me.
For the touch of birth
bid me with love;
Opening a promise
my heart to feel;
What not
my eyes always see.
And I have found
the face reflected
by no mirror;
Yet;
I have seen.
