Shallow and Deeper Views
If you will search for me with all your soul,
The real me whom I want to share with you,
Then surely you will find me, not the whole
Man but the most important parts. The blue
Eyes mean a clarity, a clarity
Of purpose and of goals. The head of blond
Hair long has been with no disparity
From infancy to age—perhaps beyond
These when I lie somewhere in earth.
The real me? That includes the part which grows
Because of you, that part for making birth,
The birth of love in loving’s pain and throes.
Search for my heart. It’s there for you to find.
Where true love is in depths, it is not blind.
