Amazed...yes at a loss for words. In all honesty i loved this piece. You really should get published you know, I know its harder than just saying, I'm still trying myself but keep it up you have the talent and obvious skill to do it. You have one reader over here anyway-Keith Andrew

A great poem. It is very well written.

Wow.
Very nice, Cass. I love the spirit in it. (::smiles::)
I especially like the part about dark clouds parting for the burning glory--inspiring, that.

Well, as you know this category is far from being my strong point, but it's eye-catching nevertheless. I'm not sure the scansion is all that smooth in places (which may have been the intention; I don't know), but some of the phrasing is exquisite. (It's very simple, but "And plant lilies over an empty grave" really stands out.)

I love it! It was great!
