Harry Nilsson's version of without you.

time and time again
i am thrown back into these black whirlpools of despair
that longs only for you
and about all else
does not really care

but there is also
this other sentimental sadness
that is harder to explain

but it is the reason
that Harry Nilsson's version of the song 'Without You'
is the one that really matters
and it is that crown
yet even that jewel in the crown
of all realities
and the benevolent
feature
of the heart
wants to find encouraging words
for every wayward wandering soul
but always at the heart of things
is that energy and that shape
which is the face and name of beauty
and the movement and the sound of truth

and goodness knows that the two are rarely in the same place at once

but there it is
the seeker after
this rare delight

lost
again
in thought.
