All Leaps Of Our Imagination Poem by gershon hepner

If equal affection cannot be,
let the more loving one be me.
I’d say that to that stars, but wishes
like spoons they say jump over dishes,
must be contented, just like cows,
and earthbound too, till God allows
all leaps of our imaginations
to be as real as love sensations.

Inspired by lines by WH Auden:

How would we feel
if the stars were to burn
with a passion for us
we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
let the more loving one be me!
