Deep within the ashes,
a last ember burned alone
A final spark to light the torch,
to guide your spirit home
Deep within the ashes,
a last beacon in the fight
Refusing to let the darkness take
—your vestige into night
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)
The Eagles Eye
Like a telescope in focus,
the words get sharp and clear
And magnify within the thought,
a feeling oh so dear
Each letter worth a hundred times,
what yesterday did know
New verse now burning laser bright,
—eternal in its glow
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)

There are very few poems that take away my words. This one did. I am blown away and all I can do is make it a favorite. I also printed it out to put on my wall so I can read it over and over again. Nuff said!
Honored as always, Fred!
