Sonnet For Essence Poem by Danny Draper
Sonnet For Essence
Faint aeons dimmed over far spreading bly,
Soft even light blanketed ground and sky,
A kindness where both day and night relent
And now exhausted land lies calm and spent.
Perpetually it grew as from a kiss
Myriad challenges bringing it to this,
Clung on tight with indifference where 'er found
And yet in every nook and cranny did abound.
Endurance gave rise to bold prosperity,
Sentience arose, and sometimes serenity,
Aesthetic connect weaved a care for life
Business ate amenity, awakening hiraeth.
And within, a most subtle beauty lies,
Love realised, is that which it implies.

Hiraeth - hear eye-th (pronunciation)
Hiraeth /hɪəraɪ̯θ/ is a Welsh word that has no direct English translation. The University of Wales, Lampeter attempts to define it as homesickness tinged with grief or sadness over the lost or departed. It is a mix of longing, yearning, nostalgia, wistfulness, or an earnest desire[1] for the Wales of the past.[2]
Every word is composed together with fine finesse your not so much a wordsmith but an architect allowing it to smoothly flow through, and to top it off I found out a new word.
Beautiful words gracefully delivered. Poet notes were great. Really felt I was back in the past

Your crafted caress, so vibrant, expressed...thank you for the enlightening note...I think I shall linger, here, awhile.
