Order and Connection

The Order and Connection

What enjoyment in that sound
The soft slaps of shiny silk
Flaps filtering to my inner ear
From rhythmic foreign messenger
Essential grace in every action
Wearing will by measured fraction

What pleasure in that whiff
Of stiff perfumed shot
Sent with intent to my nose
From hotly seasoned form
In the heat of the day
My breath it took away

What rapture in an idea
Expressed from heart to heart
A dart of intimate truth
From helpless affected youth
In forceful seizure of a fellow kind
Joyously defenceless inner mind

But, what delight in a total view!
Through paralysing haze of time
Fruition of a blessed power.
An intuition of the active mind
In passion for the flawless thing
Supremely, painlessly, combined
