Oh, Herbert - this is absolutely stunning, reminiscent of Roethke, but very much your signature voice. Touching, sentimental, and yet, you nailed the disenchantment that comes in intervals regarding science. Thank you for sharing.
What great imagery, and what longing! You've done it again, Herr Dr. Nehrlich.
Your style and the flow of your poems has not faltered. Although I have not been around for a couple of years, I still see the same wonderful Herbert style shining through. You always were a wonderful realist and romantic rolled into one. This is totally beautiful A very well written Poem with just the right amount of romance to make the ladies drool. Excellent dear friend. HUGS Jan
