Stretching our gratitude for miles.

And loving spirits in its plenisphere

Which bear in strange delight on my heart’s care

Till Joy’s awakened from that sepulchre.

That which befalls me in my Lady’s presence

Bars explanation intellectual.

I seem to see a lady wonderful

Spring forth between her lips, one whom no sense

Can fully tell the mind of, and one whence

Another, in beauty, springeth marvelous,

From whom a star goes forth and speaketh thus:

"Now my salvation is gone forth from thee."

There where this Lady’s loveliness appeareth,

Is heard a voice which goes before her ways

And seems to sing her name with such sweet praise

That my mouth fears to speak what name she beareth,

And my heart trembles for the grace she weareth,

While far in my soul’s deep the sighs astir

Speak thus: "Look well! For if thou look on her,

Then shalt thou see her virtue risen in heaven."

Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament And only herald to the gaudy spring, Within thine own bud buriest thy content And, tender churl, makest waste in niggarding. Pity the world, or else this glutton be, To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee. Odes : poem to praise or thanks someone or something. Example : Ode to Cheese

Example :
Connotation


Friends
Means sharing, bittersweet
A brand name of love. It is a tie for all time,
Longer than the shadows we forget
Yet shorter and better than life, or for some longer,
Stronger. It balances you, with a pole in
One hand and a rope in the other, you choose what to use it for.
It is forever.

Friends
Remembers everything anyone ever felt,
Holds it in a cubbyhole somewhere for next time
When it is spoken or thought, from kindergarten
Elation to maturing despair. No friend is ever
Alone in action or reaction, left
Without a silent commiserating presence of
Invisible brick, a personal wailing wall
For those who need its strength
And stability.

Friends
Is a loaded word and pointed. It limbos out from
Under walls, vaults barricades, threads mazes
To erect cellophane boundaries of its own.
It lets you see what could lie beyond
But that you gave up
When you spoke its name.
