No Crowd that has occurred

No Crowd that has occurred
Exhibit—I suppose
That General Attendance
That Resurrection—does—

Circumference be full—
The long restricted Grave
Assert her Vital Privilege—
The Dust—connect—and live—

On Atoms—features place—
All Multitudes that were
Efface in the Comparison—
As Suns—dissolve a star—

Solemnity—prevail—
Its Individual Doom
Possess each separate Consciousness—
August—Absorbed—Numb—

What Duplicate—exist—
What Parallel can be—
Of the Significance of This—
To Universe—and Me?

    WOW, THIS POEM REALLY GOT ME THINKING! IT'S IMPACTFUL AND DEEP, BRIMMING OVER WITH IDEAS ABOUT LIFE, DEATH, AND BEYOND. IT HAS SUCH POWER IN ITS WORDS, MAKING ME RESET MY PERSPECTIVES. SO METAPHYSICAL AND EXQUISITE IN ITS BEAUTY. JUST BRILLIANT!
