By lupus tenebrae
This verse has about as much
meaning as a frame
accentuating a masterpiece
or the sobering earth
at the end of a rainbow, in that:
it presumes to know the limelight
by its pet name, but is merely
kept at arm's length for pity's sake,
just close enough
to pine for a little warmth.

The "for pity's sake" part has me grasping and curious. I love it none the less though.

ahh but a frame compliments or enhances the work of art...holds it steady.. keeps it from twisting and warping... the earth will remain long after the rainbow fades. it's all perspective i guess, but i'd trade quiet strength over the spotlight any day. great thought stirring work...
