Beyond the Grey Sky Sunshine glint fords this picturesque perspective, well-disposed indeed, reserved for visitors, my sepulcher neglected, whilst ... time-stretched o'er, ~~my limestone sculpture. Didst thee thought of me become therefore feeble, wouldst thou respond moreover fulfill me whole, nought by some supposed decree, nor wrongs ... from me, ~~wouldst nought keep from thee. Confounded of why this occurrence exists, recompense didst I, whilst I lived gifts reprieve, bedridden I midst the souls huddled in grief, ~~didst by duty cries? 'Tis penitence yet ponders whilst fresh ground detects, new expressions circumvent, whispers, sleep I, current flowers set, except one set on me, ~~my loved one stirred me. 2020 September 12

This is a wonderful concept, William. The 4 bold lines are easily a stand-alone poem. Your last line of one flower set on me translates to me as one being placed on his grave.

William, please accept my warmest Congratulations on your turbulent write. Words to God about our transition to Heaven are so entirely wonderfully wrapped in your sweet clever essence.
