I came across the following e e cummings' poem today
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
and it came across to me as more than a reflection of the spiritual experience which love between individuals is at times and has a greater application. In life I have found some proof that love knows no fear but has a lot of hesitation about it!
It is strange but I have read this poem at times over many years but today saw it through fresh eyes. Such is the nature of good poetry, music etc.
