Among the Million Galaxies of Light

It is over now, the blinding grief,

The closing chapters of familiar things

That brought with torment tears of vain relief,

And witness to death's solemn conquerings

In realms unknown of spirit's emptiness

And nescient chambers where one fought to pray

And contemplate the past in loveliness,

Her smile that vied in beauty with the day

When laughter ruled and two as one aspired

To a greater life's occult destiny

And joy beyond time's fleeting gifts desired.

It is over now, I shall remember thee

On this blue-green globe spinning through the night

Among the million galaxies of light.
