PROGRESSION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The resonance of wind and wave
Last Line: The heart's experience only knows.
Subject(s): Experience; Growth


THE resonance of wind and wave
Is put to music by the tide;
So passion modulates to verse,
And moves in rhythm's quiet stride.

The bards in realms enchanted hold
Familiar converse, like the birds;
Repeat emotion, improvise,
Sustain the fundamental words, --

Until, forsaking pastorals,
They must pursue Life's ampler prose, --
A continuity of song
The heart's experience only knows.
