THE HOLMES MYTHOS

Nothing But the Glove
I stood up next to a mountain,
I said “What makes you so high”
Your majesty enthralls me
If only for a little while
I walked up to the lake,
I said “what makes you so deep”
Your presence excites me
Nothing left to keep
I ran into the forest,
I said, “what makes you so green”
Your tenderness knows me
Nothing but a dream
I swam out over the ocean
I said, “what makes you so blue”
Your vastness entices me
Nothing is more true
I shouted to the heavens,
I said, “what makes you so old”
Your holiness owns me fi›‹
Nothing more can be told
I laid down my heart today
I said, “what makes you love”
Your gentleness knows me
It fits just like a glove
