Cyber

BY CAROLE NICHOLS

In the darkness, thick with nameless shadows;
Filled with silence, yet cluttered chatter,
I am touched by an unknown hand.

So hot to touch, I am filled with a deeper heat;
Flames that do not burn, but consume,
With purest pleasure, I find.

In joy and fear I follow that heated path;
Searching for some fathomless thing,
Longing to understand.

And when I finally touch the hand that holds me
I realize that Fate has brought me here
To love you in my mind.
