      <title>Radiance of Love</title>
      <link>http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474977203146</link>
      <description>A day in passage without you 
Has no sun to light the way. 
There is no radiance of love. 
No warmth to kindle the fire, 
No life worth living.Nothing moves. 
Flowers cannot tilt their faces to the gift. . . .</description>

      <description>I sit alone in my room. 
I hear your voice. 
I turn to look. 
I listen.  
I do not see you.  
I hear you in my mind. 
Yet, the room is empty except for the noise of the computer keyboard . . .</description>
