Evensong Poems - Poems about Evensong


Premium Member Eternal Evensong
In her car, the woman in deeepest melancholy sat. Rain falling, tears falling, splat! She thought of those many days before. With many a handsome suitor at her door. She closed her eyes and she warmly remembered! Teaching bubbling children in those autumn-hued Septembers. That cold, icicle-like day in Chicago when she gave birth. The cries, the screaming, her baby, girl,...

Premium Member The Days Come Warmer
The Days Come, Warmer Time has ammassed the many aspects of me, Which I then collect, design and tatt Into delicate lace edgings for my aging, and which I then Lay out into rings around the bases of tree trunks To become splendor again, anew across the landscape — with the fragrance of lilies — orange, yellow,...

In the Cool Night Air
The bistred day has fallen still, A darkened mead hangs overhead; The hush within the evening chill Chants now the yore is gone to bed. A gently breeze steals from the west, Cool along the shadowed lanes; The sunburned broil, now at rest, Its warmth has gone, though still remains. The cool night air stands all alone Anon the past is gone to...

Pt I: The Pilgrims 1991 he’d pick ‘his’ path up as it fell between the dunes toward the wood and as the trees knew him so well they’d all bow down right where he stood and every day with time to pass he’d walk and find his secret seat surrounded by the marram grass divorced from life’s hard grind and heat and there he’d sit...

Evensong
The wind blows, weaving through the trees The song of evening in the breeze A warmth of love and light and song A joyful beat when days are long The light fades softly from the sky The swan-winged clouds let out a sigh A tune too soft to put to word The sweetest song that’s e’er been heard A golden sunset in the...

Evensong
A golden tincture to the sky as to the west it goes its way, last fleeting glance of the sun’s eye ere night-time comes to wrest the day. Sat tired within my garden there high on a tree an anthems sung, a feathered lovechild of the airr affirming joy of life on wing. Its song more permanent than I though I may think...

Norwich Cathedral Evensong
Nine hundred years these arches rang : With fervent praise the people sang. In early days the monks would chant As from the heights bright beams would slant Illuminating Norman stone And soften with a pallid light, With Benedictine monotone, To put all worldly dark to flight. With skill, in stone, mere men have wrought A timeless edifice, which sought To witness to the power...

Evensong
I can't Now that that name Has dominated my life, An evensong with Everlasting lyric That at times when I may Be still I can recite through memory. It is yet still new to me. So many are the fresh syllables That lay undiscovered and foreign In the pit of my mouth. So strange that I Am the one to recognize it, To have it strike me Again...

Sangious Evensong
Sleeping beside the obloquy's poet, 2:40 am,a candle seeks it's death: In the plight of your dream. Slow breathing, Perhaps the moons learns of her slumbering, Where the labyrinths of reposing, Remembers the calm sought, Of your silent silhouette, Burn on the walls of the memory. Are the dreams fluent? And ever flowing as the heart which stirs, The compassion of your lucid nature, In the eyes...

Evensong
For my sins and everything I ever did or sought to be, Contempt and dying to be clever in unfathomed pools of sadness, I plumbed each depth and splashed the ether, oscillated shakily, Strapped to dark beliefs and definitions, all I gleaned of me was badness. In my heart I hoarded secrets, guarded, gloated jealously, Something...
