A beautiful imaginative tribute to a fine poet, Michael. I really enjoyed this one, even without your touch of Hindu mythology. Yes, when I read a poet, it's often as though I can see and hear them reading that poem aloud. (When I write, I always write for the ear as well as the eye. My work is meant to be read aloud.) I was really touched by this poem and its sweetness of spirit, not unlike the late subject. Kind regards, Hugh

Michael, I really enjoyed the last stanza...a beautiful and peacful picture. A tribute deserved. I was a little confused by the peom, but plead young and ignorant...lol. I imagine perhaps a daydream.
