Another Winter Star

I awoke to find the tall splendor of the world, in those cosmic canyons, shearing darkness ---- in the pallet of some ethereal night; ancient with desire..... to Illume the thick shadow of hades itself Not death nor mortal doubt couldst thou flee from me, mighty as Aphrodite ---- Shooting thy silver smile beautiful as heaven's promise! In your shimmering I see hope, for the heart which beholds thy majesty the world could fade, yet you remain..... a friendly face if none should be found, but you..... that thou Creator dost reveal; my soul, ageless as thee (am spun from the same loom)

Amen Charlie. Tis true that the old style seems to speak more deeply or metaphysically with some works.

Thanks Matthew, it does have a tinge of Tolkien too perhaps? I agree that poetry is a deep endevour; it is a mirror of the soul. God bless!
