Benignly this night slows. A low murmur of feline content barely ripples the slow undulations of a chest's measured breath nested in blankets, sedated by Beethoven's 7th Reading glasses rest on an upraised face safe in the netherworld bordering dream and not quite Only in subtle shifts of cat or music's movement do eyelashes slightly dust the lenses, light as moth's wings It's the better tired of brighter salubrity that found me alone in a grand cathedral but for an organist insistent on playing for me As Sun lit stained glass jewels were for a time my own A near vacant art library where huge tomes of Vatican art whispered respect for glory and a quartet of innocent schoolgirls caroled at the bus stop To dream such would be a welcome respite To have lived this day a blessing |

The Gray Man's stained glass reflections--enjoyed sharing your day  "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |

It's the better tired of brighter salubrity that found me alone in a grand cathedral but for an organist insistent on playing for me As Sun lit stained glass jewels were for a time my own A near vacant art library where huge tomes of Vatican art whispered respect for glory ===================================== sublime imagery...content and vocab...always impressive...so much to see thru your eyes...so much to learn from your pen. Will the wind remember the names it has blown in the past? |
