This poem moved me truly as life has dealt disparate cards of late. My friend recently miscarried and, in reach for words that to me were for once elusive, I quoted those four last lines. I know the poem doesn’t deal with the particular topic but its lasting message I find universally comforting. On an even more personal note, I resonate so painfully with the couplet “Orange cinders, dreams that came to rest /
Yesterday’s voices, man’s noblest quests”. It’s a stunning little write and I thank you so much for sharing it. You are very much a poet that evokes a lot of beauty and faith in your work and I admire that very much.

Warm regards,
Stuart
