Question

You are frozen as the clouds
You are far and sweet as the high clouds
I dare reach to you
I dare touch the rim of your brightness
I leap beyond the winds,
I cry and shout For my throat is keen as a sword.
Sharpened on a hone of ivory.
My throat sings the joy of my eyes,
The rushing gladness of my love.
