Aloutte one first songs taught in grade school . Sang as we walked down a wood path to skate on ice. Sun swallowed by clouds. Snow threatened. Memories of hockey pucks getting hit trying to get a score. Birds were quiet, gone to other shores. Shouts of friends all was heard, never more. A swallow sunrise warning of days to come.

To encompass a whole classical sonnet in a single sentence is really quite a feat. French poets at the time of Paul Valéry vied with each other to achieve such literally breathtaking outcomes.

Your philosophy is hope, reconciliation I think. What a perfect ending to a beautiful poem.

Absolutely stellar.

"and future memories complain

that time is always lurking and will take

the sunrise and the morning on its way

to afternoon and evening getting dark"
