Poem meme: When you see this, post a poem.

Perhaps not technically a poem (extract from a play), but I saw this on the flist a while back and this is the perfect excuse to share it.

Well, technically Sarah Kane is reposted... :D

And that poem, seen it before (possibly even on your journal), loved it then and love it now.

A great ring of pure & endless light
Dazzles the darkness in my heart
And breaks apart the dusky clouds of night.
The end of all is hinted in the start.

When we are born we bear the seeds of blight;
Around us life & death are torn apart,
Yet a great ring of pure & endless light
Dazzles the darkness in my heart.

It lights the world to my delight.
Infinity is present in each part.
A loving smile contains all art.
The motes of starlight spark and dart.

A grain of sand holds power & might.
Infinity is present in each part,
And a great ring of pure and endless light
Dazzles the darkness in my heart.

- Madeleine L'Engle

You're welcome! It's from A Ring of Endless Light, and the main character wrote that poem in particular, it's been my favorite book for years.
