The rhyme is musical and unforced, never rote, the images are indeed statuesque, caryatids under the weight they so gracefully support of an unwinding, an undoing, which examples, however brilliant, can't correct, or what other rooms they may illuminate. They are someone else's far off light attempting to pierce the dark, where the only lamp close enough to function is one's own. I am left with a feeling of sadness, but I am also comforted by the beauty created. Good to see you writing again, Steve.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912094816780327975.post-45694587823442600612015-04-22T00:08:49.169-04:002015-04-22T00:08:49.169-04:00I love your philosophical road you take.

I also especially like the listing of the stanza re beautiful things-- such an interesting and compelling set of combinations. I am on a phone on the train right now so commenting is not very easy but thanks for the beautiful poem. K. Outlawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698845661756444061noreply@blogger.com
