Autoplay

Finely tuned
He topped his heights
With extra draughts of nectar.
He could see humour and sorrow in all.

Amusement in a mountain
Brought a tear
For friend not here
And never here again.

Sorrow-skewed,
Her life her plight,
No more topping
To her delight...
...or his.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

The thought of no laughter
In the hereafter
Only doubled mourning,
Made him wax sublime:
A bit of the mirth
From down here on earth
Will right the wrongs of Time
(Well, make it easier to get up in the morning.)

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Again the loss and empathy with an ending of fatalistic resolution.
