[hometext] => I wrote this poem for a freind of my parents whose newly born had just died.
[bodytext] => The fragile beauty of nature’s dawn Poets last words to which nobody mourns The delicate fragrance of a single rose Captured and imprisoned in a cage of glass A startled thrush flies the moors from its startled perch They who stand tall, awaiting suns new light Innocence to truth like the crime that bequeaths Thorns for every rose, blood cometh beauty preserves To all that bow low to the sickle and crown Like men to men, only the sky remains Someday that too, dead Know now all that we love, for today is now Lies that rule in the hearts of all Death comes too easy, without wanton need Earth that passes beneath our feet The day does end but the thought remains [comments] => 1 [counter] => 235 [topic] => 32 [informant] => ripshark [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )
