In Praise of An Angel

...for Juvie


The larks perform at your behest, 
and rivers run their course at your command, 
the sun and moon spill brilliance 
to light the way, directed by your hand. 

The stars are sparkles in your hair, 
sprinkled in the dark of night, 
your heart and soul sing love songs 
that engage the wind in airy flight. 

Soft and gentle are your ways, 
sweet your countenance that glows, 
the sun you relegate to shame, 
this your nature doth disclose!

Brilliant piece of poetry Kieth. The eulogy is a difficult thing to get right, but you just go OTT with this and it works great. The images that you conjour are playful but also inteligently imagined. Excellent !
