Measured

After she and I began studying Latin again, Michelle started writing poetry again.

Fascinating to me, this is her latest:

Measured

Pray thee sister lend a hand,

Quaint and rustic this chosen band.

Afar the moon doth turn …

Above the ground it burns.

Pray little sister wait.

Nod off to the land so Great.

The tide of shores asleep doth take

Little grand masters and misses wake.

Even though I pray for thee now

Death’s strong bands ensconce thy brow.

Say little sister I beg of thee vow

Wait yet watch from heaven now.
