The Poetry of M - 7. Incense

This is stately, and I like how you consistently avoid saying the word for certain things, like 'headstone.' I think you should check out Tennyson's great love poem to the dead man he loved, In Memoriam. I think you'll find a lot there to inspire your work. Good job!

Yes...one of my favorites is Tennyson. My other is Blake.

I was inspired by current events in my life today.

The sweet memory of a dear friend is often hard to forget. May he smell your subliming incense up on the heaven.

I felt much taken by this remembrance and prayer. It seems as much for us as for Jim, but your life for him brings life to this poem.

Thank you for sharing in my memory of Jim.

So sad. Yet, so beautiful! Like dark chocolate this Is bittersweet. Thank you for sharing ♥️

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. 

Thanks, guys. This has now become my official incantation for the ascended. I recite versions of this almost every night before going to bed while I do my nightly incense ritual. It brings them nearer to me and that brings me peace.

I’m glad you’ve found something like that. Having lost people myself, it feels good to maintain a connection, I think, of one kind or another. 

This is a beautiful poem, Mr. M. Thank you for sharing the link on Lacey’s post. I would not have read it otherwise. 😢
