Touched by an Angel Maya Angelou
We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight live coiled
in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight to liberate us into life. Love
arrives and in its train come ecstasies old memories
of pleasure ancient histories of pain. Yet if we
are bold, love strikes away the chains of
fear from our souls. We are weaned
from our timidity. In the flush of
love's light we dare be brave
And suddenly we see that
love costs all we are and
will ever be. Yet it is
only love which
sets us free.
