Excellence Award in the 'Write As Rain 2014' competition
Evangeline, in thine eye, a fine art—
Freed from the sorrow of constant borings
Let loose to branch away, and fill thine heart,
Defy ill time and man’ futile roaring,
Peaceful and quiet in stillness, aloft
Burning alight till it flicker and cease,
A swoon to death be it gracious and soft,
Live on forever, be dreaming in sleep—
Nay! Yet still lasting, still un-breakable,
Still, to be with thou, melting into night
The shadow of your loveliness be full,
And so ye forever be in thine sight,
Watching each frame of life, purple stained pass,
And feel thou’s kiss, be it my very last.
