When the twilight is gone, and no songbirds are singing. When the twilight is gone, you come into my heart. And here in my heart you will stay while I pray. My prayer is to linger with you, At the end of the day, in a dream that’s divine. My prayer is a rapture in... Read More

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud.

What kind of fool am I, who never fell in love? It seems that I’m the only one that I have been thinking of. What kind of mind is this? An empty shell, A lonely cell in which an empty heart must dwell. What kind of clown am I? What do I know of life?... Read More

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of being and ideal grace. I love thee to the level of every day’s Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love... Read More

What’s it all about, Alfie? Is it just for the moment we live? What’s it all about when you sort it out, Alfie? Are we meant to take more than we give? Or are we meant to be kind? And if only fools are kind, Alfie, Then I guess it is wise to be cruel.... Read More

I don’t know how to love Him. What to do, how to move Him. I’ve been changed. Yes, really changed. In these past few days, when I’ve seen myself I seem like someone else. I don’t know how to take this. I don’t see why He moves me. He’s a man, He’s just a man.... Read More
