Notes About The Poem

I have made a few alterations this VE anniversary day a minute or two ago,

After the Flood

I am told the poetry's fine by some,
enjoyed perused that was their sum
and yet this flow.. Through mind and soul
I cannot own; not it's depth nor its Whole
no more than call my last breath back
it’s beyond the pale of life; for this wearied hack'
No eye has seen the vista's all'
awaiting ears that listen; to the saviours call,
no mind conceives the splendour Grand;
under control of the Son of man,
so are the words that spring from me
That are fed by water that flows by the tree,
where a brightness dwells not of this Sun
where the Word and the Spirit and the Father; say come!

The comment “Beautiful” is over used on this site, but here, to your poem, I feel beauty. Classically elegant. A Fav for me. It speaks for me, too. Thank you. Blessings to you! sally

"Wearied hack" ??? Hardly! I love your work! Inspiring. I am reminded of Jackson Browne, "In the troubled years that came before the deluge".
