We live close to the stars,
But closer by the days:
From times which have long gone
Till the dawning of tomorrow.
Consider, for one moment,
The stars and the days, piled high:
The waste,
The loss,
The pain,
The grief,
The tortured sky.
The sorrow.
Brilliant poem, Stephen, expressing with great skill and economy a wealth of feeling. Thank you.
Stephen, I could feel the sorrow in this poem. I could resonate with your consideration and it evoked certain poignant emotions in me. Very well written!
Thank you.
