I love poems and when I grow up I want to be a poem writter Because I love writing like poems Too.
But that Cloud and its Auxiliaries Are forever lost to me, ................... well penned
Never to pass the Angel With a glance and a Bow Till I am firm in Heaven Is my intention now.
It is cool how she is playing science and mystery off each other in the same poem. She sees a cloud in the sky- something we all do- and the next thing I know she is talking auxiliaries and how she regrets not sealing all these things she sees in an Hermetic Memory”. Have to love the poetry of an adventurous mind.
My first time reading this one by Emily as best I can remember. But what strikes me as characteristic of her are her unexpected or original use of words as in Auxiliaries and Hermetic and how she packs so much into so few lines. There’s a lot of similarity to this poem of hers and my Heart Song which begins, The sun is lacking. -GK
Yes there are glories which are superior to that of a cloud, but even a cloud (deemed to be an angel) could have been recalled by her, had she fixed it firmer in her Hermetic memory, now she resolves never to pass such clouds with merely a glance and a bow until she is firmly in heaven herself..........outstanding piece.......thanks for sharing
A Cloud withdrew from the Sky Superior Glory be But that Cloud and its Auxiliaries Are forever lost to me Beautiful, simply beautiful a poem. Thanks poet.
Yes Emily, to be part of that superior glory....I do agree with you..and wish, you bless us all poets from Heaven where you had already gone as you wished and intended
clouds will come, clouds will go And rainbows fill the sky Days and night we seek our dreams And like clouds they go by..........
I have loved Emily's poems for many reasons. To me this poem speaks of not love or religion but the awareness of mind when she was not able to retain the beauty of a moment as it was presented to her and regretted for not being vigilant.
A profound poem with spiritual base. The rich in rhyme and rhythm life song is superb.
