Tell

Tell Your wind
no need to roar,

my own need
push enough --

Tell Your Sun
high at its zenith,
no need for excess
gleamith -- 

Confound further
my soul
saying, for you, no
love to be found,

in painted sky
on textured ground -- 

If love, for me, not near 
nor far-apart – Why, Dear Lord!~
gave You this poet 

a beating heart?

Hi Joe; just a poem. I grew up on the likes of, Annabel Lee, The Highwayman, etc., and every now and then I like to return to my Classical Roots. The old, romantic poetry, of romantic eras in poetry, remain dear to my heart. Blessings my friend.
