Remembering P.
O for the calm absorption now
of one who watches stars at night
and sees the sky's reflective bow
offer the essence of delight.
O for the patience of the one
who sits alone on rivers' banks
and hears the fainting wind bemoan
its losses to the reeds' sharp ranks.
O that the silvering dust of dreams
spread by sleep with subtle art
could overlay what has been done
and still the aching of my heart.

Enjoyed it

It reads like a classic poem and i wanted to read it more than once - not so i could critique it, but because i liked it.
Good job!  |
