I envy the bird
who, this morning,
flew  past my balcony
in song,
carefree in early pink peace,
and dropped toward earth
but
before shocking impact,
found his place
in gliding,
parallel to grass, his
wings spread still
not flapping against air,
yet
resting in his purpose
which, for an early song bird,
is to sing and soar
and succumb.
       ]]></description>

Oh, Shakespeare!
I learned how to read his Sonnets during my Intro. to Lit. class two summers ago. To me, they are clearly his personal journal, detailing loves, fears, and dreams…all of which most of us would rather keep locked away in obscurity.

DREAMS
Amy Lowell
I do not care to talk to you although
Your speech evokes a thousand sympathies,
And all my being&#8217;s silent harmonies
Wake trembling into music.  When you go
It is as if some sudden, dreadful blow
Had severed all the strings with savage ease.
No, do not talk; but let us rather seize
This intimate gift of silence which we [...]]]></description>
