A Cosmos Burning Bright Poem by Sandra Fowler

A Cosmos Burning Bright

Rating: 3.6


To a poet of India for his warmth which can never be outdated
'With warmth for your severe winter', you said.
And every snowflake from my landscape fled.
I felt the sun from half a world away
Touch my skin with your autograph that day.

Regret echoes back to you on the air.
Love and remembrance, Friend, we both must bear.
Although I knew the poem was no more,
Your solace healed my being to the core.

Stanzas have gone into that atmosphere
In which two songsmiths held each other dear.
Yet somewhere our cosmos is burning bright,
Like Oriental candles against night.

Poignant, touching, and oh so true, Sandra. Nothing is ever destroyed...and that is the comfort, however small, we take from this misty world of fleeting moments and phrases. Beautiful, simply beautiful. xxElysabeth

Sandra, your poetry is as recognizable as the music of Vivaldi - and just as joyous and perfectly composed. This one in particular touched me deeply. Such a simple sentence, 'with warmth for your severe winter', has triggered a flood of beautiful words. Superb. love, Allie xxxx

Uhm... I felt a bit... uhm... left out on what really is the feeling behind the words ;) However in totality, it sends the message quite clearly 'to whom it may concern' :) Well said, Sandra :) With regards, Daffodil
