. It was dark As it always seems to be At this time of year The houses Bedded in their yards With their eyes closed The cars crowded along the curbs In a sky without clouds Among what stars there were The moon in its constant solitude Focused the silence of the hour It is too late for this I thought And yet still I stood there As I have before More often than I care to recall As if that night it might be different If only for a little longer the heart’s Faith would have its miracle And that dawn which had never come Would arrive As if I waited I would soon feel the tender warmth of it And so again I stood in the depths of night Waiting to hear The sound of light Footsteps on the street . |

Thank you all, This was a response to Mark Strand's poem "Black Sea" in his new collection "Man and Camel". This is not the first time it's happened and I don't believe it will be the last. Thanks again John |

I haven't been on this site for a while... but I'm really glad to see your still posting poems here. I always enjoyed reading your work, and this was no diffrent. You always seemed to spark a memory. |

Thanks again, I’m really surprised how well this is received. There was an ulterior motive to my posting as I’m trying to decide which of the two, this poem or “It” ,to use as my introduction at a little state poetry society meeting I’m thinking of attending this weekend. It seems this might be the preference. Thanks again John |

This will be in 2600. S1. His heart at spring, lonely, cold. S2/S3. let the feelings out to the outside. jealous of the houses who are comfortably in their place and the cars who snugged with each other warmly. S4. s5 hope, old or young S6. warmth VS S1's cold S7. sound vs S2's quiet. I have no words for this one. It is a wonderful one. |
