Oft' alone in silent ponder, Gazing 'loft to welkin's yonder, Mind from body in dissever, Adrift upon far side of ever, Beyond cruel bounds of earthen fetter, Seeking wisdom through night's rhettor, Orion guards high heaven's vault, Seven Sisters sing exalt, Apollo's lute strums hymn's reprise, Polaris fades, night's passing skies, As I search in endless wander, Alone, alone, in silent ponder. |

Celestials shan't resist your lyric lines of invocation's peace, poetic vow. Each shimm'ring star and muse, for you, devines she'll shine the brightest Heaven will allow. Your poem brings out the peaceful in me. It is an absolute delight. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Loved the depth and cadence of this wonderful compostion! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Mike, Some very rich thoughts in this, even the title - everything is a feeling of fullness. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

"Adrift upon the far side of ever"... That would be I...  ...This is one of the better of your best, Mike... Nice one, my friend..  Waft every crest upon your destined sea. Embrace the Wave of Serendipity, Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity. |
