From Grace

The song said a man will rise,
a man will fall,
from the sheer face of love

like a fly on a wall
but he has no wings
only the memory thereof

from her he understood rise,
now he understands fall,
arms outstretched in blackness

fingers brush a surface he cannot see
only feel, now raspy, now smooth,
with no purchase for his heart


Italicized words above are lyrics from "The Fly", by U2, from the album Achtung, Baby. But you probably already knew that...

Don't suffer your crimes
Let the love in your heart take control..."
