Born of grand effort
With vigor oft dim
Across vast expanses
Along lines of whim
In soft subtle shadings
Of languid intrusion
Life's honeyed expressions
Brush shadings of notion
This heart shan’t mull
Fond passing ne’er spoken
With struggles amended
A specter unbroken
Ingesting the dew
Of glories renewed
Roaming untainted in
Pure unguent colors
What mind hath espoused
On knolls oft at ease
Clear light of perception
Yon glimpse to appease
With parchment unrolled
And dip of the pen
A dear soul savored
In tender words spoken
