David E. Barnes "No Release -- No Connection"
© 2003 David E. Barnes
A Poet's Corner Original Poet! 
Like light in a bottle of stone 
Like the lotus eater I will lose my dream
lose myself - yet I am the door. 

Knock and be open. 

Love beyond love beyond 
a paradox is dark and light -- 
to live I die. 

Am I not I who is anybody?
A luminous being carked in frail flesh bone --
waiting for the light's release to be tested. 

To live utterly without fear 
is a fearsome thing. 
To live 
is a terrible thing 

the whole world magnifies:- 

And you who burn so bright in the dark 
of all nights - when I am tested 
 
Will I burn like a star?
