IT's just so wow and beautiful! how nature and love go hand in hand in this poem - a GEM! Preets
Already posted one comment - but consarnit - you've obviously read 'Into the Night' - durn it, ya cudd'na made it plainer.
Any poem that has a Live Oak in it wins my vote. Still, the title echoes that of the author of 'The Little Prince' - 'Voyage au fond du nuit' if memory doesnt' betray me - but it does, these days. Hope you didn't crash into the ocean. Just joshing, I quite liked this.
Dear William, I once had a love, like what you sounded in this poem, and we visited the Redneck Riviera, and the Live Oaks of the Texas coastline, so gnarled and windswept in their beauty. You evoke the swelling emotion that comes with the tides, within our humanity, where our love grows. You charge your lines with increasing feeling, and by the last two stanzas, I'm in love all over again. You are too sweet, Phillip
This is old school romanticism.
