Michael, your interaction with the poem really struck me today. Even in the darkness of depression, or at least "duldrums", you've managed to hold my hand for a bit and remind me of life and death being two pieces of one reality and to inspire me once again to pay attention to the joy and the interconnectedness of it all. Thank you for that.

Jeremy! thanks so much for your kind note. I'm glad the poem speaks to you as much as it's helped me over the years!
I love this, and especially that you are offering it from a time of depression in your life. A beautiful poem.
Glad the poem resonates, and thank you for the encouragement, Sr Dorcee. Some days, poems match our mood—others, they point the way forward.
