Fences

In simple silent sentences
that trail the poet's hand;
inside the neat word fences,
the poet makes a stand.

Here, the throb is muted
by the muse's magic tune;
like the pulsing light diluted
near the far side of the moon.

Ten thousand star cast shadows
dance against the rails;
against the crystal gallows,
against the truth's bright sails.

And the steel blue cold uncertain
of those brilliant billows blown,
holds the crystal gallows' curtain;
holds the soul's eternal home.

Kathy,

Oh, my,

I don't know what to say about this one.

I am almost speachless.

This poem touched me very deeply, bringing tears to my eyes.

And, I don't even know why!

You are truly gifted.

Would you grant me permission to email you?
