To the Ode784 jours il y a
 

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are sweeter.
-----John Keats


You said write a poem of praise,
Praise to the things of this world, things like
An ancient urn that
Silently intones a timeless philosophy,
But outside my window, the wooden fence over the river
Sings a sad melody.

I pass the pen from left hand to the right, right back to the left.
The last piece of light from the top of the old oak
Like a red wine stain. I can't help it when
The Merlot spills on my paper
Blossoming like the blood
Of a young poet for his lost lover.

The wind blows a gap of silver light through the cloud,
The night is a muted drama
and I watch it taking the stage in my garden.
The full moon is a painting,
Its waning is a poem.
