Embraced

Donka Kristeva

Love is patient, kind,
heart-- a lonely hunter--
knows not when She comes.
Clothed in comfort, might,
in a whisper, heaven heard,
She illumines sight.
Then does man perceive and follow
vision-- far above earthbound gains--
Whole and safe in Love's embrace,
he, forever  free remains.
