Sonnet 351 (Only Come from You) What sound I hear that whispers in the air? An angel's voice that found an earthly ear So sweet I need not climb to Heaven's stair For with such chords is Heaven singing here. Yet, 'round I look and nothing do I see A spirit, then, must be the reason why I cannot touch but yet envelops me My cares erase and draws from me a sigh. The trees before such melody do dance The river's flow reflects its rhythmic sound That nature bends and shakes to such romance Now, on this earth, my blissful essence found. And now I realize these notes are true For what I hear can only come from you.

No Time (In memory of St Curtis Lance) And Time has dealt its cold hand once more As it will with all on this earth that are living But, then, Heaven must open its door To the spirit you are bringing. But a place brightened by your light That makes it stand out among the stars For now they must acknowledge your sight That no darkness mars. And you will live forever there Where angels your poetry will recite In the melody that even for them rare And show Heaven Earth's best light. And so, my brother, I must leave you here Between Heaven and this rhyme And in them you will always appear In your cadence that knows no time.
