A Poem For Sunday

"Cancer" by Stanley Plumly.

An excerpt:

Now to see what wasn't seen before:



the old loved landscape fading from the window,



the druid soul within the dying tree,



the depth of blue coloring the cornflower,



the birthday-ribbon river of a road,



and the young man who resembles you



opening a door in the half-built house



you helped your father build,



saying, in your voice, come forth.



The full poem is here.
