LITANY

 

LITANY

 

　

Precious

Is the blood that bleeds for another

Precious

The mind tortured by its own making

Precious

The body in pain

The tender and gentle soul unknowing

 

Few

Are the moments we share with another

Short

Is the Time of this journey

Blessèd

Our eternal sigh

Sad

Our last good bye

 

Hopeful

Are the prayers we chant for the dead

Useless

The pleas of this litany

Futile

The Fear and dread of Infinity

 

Blissful

Are the days with no cares

Holy

Is the fire of a rising sun

Peaceful

The womb of oblivion

Had to add the other bit!

Ann of Norway Such meaning rhythm, character, aesthetic style, name it you have expressed this so well Guiseppe Joe. Oh this poem was so fine,  such lovely hesitations  caused by the adjectives,  I so loved the dance,  you took me with you in the feelings,  the sentiments,  the meanings, all so gently, so nobly,  so gracefully  falling down the poem  like the falling of an Autumn leaf  resting on this  and that,  and this,  and that,  until it reached its conclusion. Your Annuccia friend.
