Natural Irony a Hardy Tribute

an interlude
           of ecstasy
clings&
       possesses
         the eternal
with love&
          inflames
thereby 
  to enslave

the wonder
    of the unknown
helps fathom
              faith
&fashion
      tnoughts' gown
into
a
truer way

vanity's eyes
             quicken
&yet
 fleeting
          sorrow
aware of the stain
           of dishonour
declines

a choice breeze
of mellow
        breath
drowns
      dull misery
calls
for a response
to douse
           the flame&
                       proclaim
a warning
     to the unaware

distress
        appears
with unease
to
mutter
    a lament
&to mock
          the living soul&
adorn
      the gloom

vigour
     arrives
upon
   the flowering tide
on
the shore
          of delight
to acquaint&
             throng
this sweet place
to
please
        &
           dream

once more
