When I my happiest can be 
In shadows, and simplicity, 
I walk along with many thoughts 
Of love's downright audacity 

In magnifying things quite small -- 
The narrow-strange, the barely-all -- 
Into these pillars ringed with fire,  
These words I love, this musical. 

For though with years I lose some zest, 
Still I can love, and leave the rest 
To go unspoken, thought, or said, 
While I hold on to all 

That's best
