MAY YOU ALWAYS BE THE DARLING OF FORTUNE, by JANE MILLER Poet's Biography First Line: March 10th and the snow flees like eloping brides Last Line: Vigilant. Subject(s): Absence; Grief; Love - Loss Of; Spring; Separation; Isolation; Sorrow; Sadness | ||||||||
March 10th and the snow flees like eloping brides into rain. The imperceptible change begins out of an old rage and glistens, chaste, with its new craving, spring. May your desire always overcome your need; your story that you have to tell, enchanting, mutable, may it fill the world you believe: a sunny view, flowers lunging from the sill, the quilt, the chair, all things fill with you and empty and fill. And hurry because now as I tire of my studied abandon, counting the days, I'm sad. Yet I trust your absence, in everything wholly evident: the rain in the white basin and I vigilant. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS A WINTER OF LOVE LETTERS AND A MORNING PRAYER: 5 by JANE MILLER A WINTER OF LOVE LETTERS AND A MORNING PRAYER: 7 by JANE MILLER |
