1) compassion a walk a phase past a parapet to trust a bridge to serve in an evening of gladness gliding as a blaze in the dark 2) this caring canyan a watershed a platform an idea in focus of measured attention enlarged on a palette ablaze in the dark 3) forsaken voiceless yet unaltered pretending to be different wearily in despair sorrowed learning apace in instant rest as pity ebbd 4) outside a glimpse of starlight and a smooth sphere a brief sound in space wrought in the highmost place always & evermore flowing freely and necessary to this night of grace 5) a perfect partition in a window on yesterday the void extinguished belief repossessed in an instant hesitation of panic constrained as calm returns to become resolution

Brian, this well-built poem has such a calm, uplifting feeling created from your imagery. I especially liked this part: "4) outside a glimpse of starlight and a smooth sphere a brief sound in space wrought in the highmost place always & evermore flowing freely" Well done as usual.
