Death’s intermittent quiet, like the drift
of wheezed persistence patient loves endure
as rhythmical good-byes: so quiet ease
soft life-sounds all around my love. I hush
myself with pulse relaxed and breath withheld,
with eyelids pulled for drapey shade; I hear
the almost full completeness of the earth
sound undiminished and not so changed of worth
were I to stripe my voice with silence. Dear
Amazement: All my certainties dispelled
themselves when first they heard you like a rush
that sounds perhaps alone upon a breeze
among the reeds but now and then, but pure
and powerful when soft its song-winds lift.
Dear Amazement

ain't that the truth. thanks, Lrod--i have really enjoyed participating in these conversations. i wouldn't discount my anal-ness. i hope one day to move beyond it, but i'm just a kid, yo--i haven't pulled in enough life to break outta the molds yet. and on top of it, i'm a nerd of a kid. i tend to think in thoughts iambic. (i got/get picked on a lot so thanks for the kind words, really; nice to have a safe and welcome place to raise a voice.)Lightning Rod wrote:too formalized and just can't help it
