where certainty resides
no faith is required
once a star is seen in the darkness
there is no forgetting it’s place in the sky
i have watched your face sink
into the night waters
of the glowing aegean
since the beginning of time

You are one hell of a poet.
Thank you, David. I try…
in all fairness, Alicia, there are a great many who try: precious few who succeed — fewer with the flair of aayoung (as in unique, not merely rare)
That’s quite an honor coming from you. Thank you.
