Oh yes, to live all alone and wonder each day, when will it end and what price must we pay... Another of your poems for me to relate to. Very best wishes, Ann.
Another lovely poem, James. I didn't know about swifts before and absolutely loved the poem's ending. Very best wishes, Ann.
I agree with you, Ann. Even the author likely held to your assessment of the poem. When we attempt to intellectualize the 'hidden' meaning, the profound emotional and spiritual impact is lost in the underbrush.

I recently went through divorce. My love of my life decided to leave and it left me heart broken and paralyzed. I never thought she can leave and each time I think of it, my heart pains.
Thank you for your experience, as mine is so very similar. Share in grief but also Love. ♥️
I don't believe we can judge what a poet actually meant when he wrote a poem, we can only know for sure what the poem means to us. I definitely know that this poem means a great deal to me.
I lost my dad January 29th 2025 from pancreatic cancer. Its coming up on a year since he's been gone I thought the pain wouldn't hurt this much still everyone tells me time heals everything but if that were true tell me why couldn't time heal him?
Really nice poem with lovely lines and verses. Warmest wishes, James
