Classic Poem

I did not see you
As you ran past,
Yet for me your hurry
Must always last.
A flame where space
Forever calls,
The flight of an arrow
That never falls—
You are a motion
Over my mind.
The immobile darkness
Streaming behind
Backgrounds your swiftness.
I feel you run
As life would not let you,
Fairer than sun
Could ever paint you.
And with the flood
And fire of your going
You kindle my blood;
You warm me, then cool me
With continuous stride
Leaping into nothing
Like the wind at your side.
