Moon and sea slumber
in the gloam of pale cold wailful light.
Then shifting 'round to see the spring,
the skies disguised in sparkling mist
light upon my fearful breast--enshade
and (still more mighty in pleasant unreflecting
with the voice of fair youth),
awake drowsily in honied morning.

Surely all my knights must sing of death so great and strangely earned,
where boundless cruel gods moved from out of time and drew their swords,
and looking down upon the earth they came slowly in the rain,
to test my knights who on the field stood frightened and unsung.

The midnight hours are old and grey,
and there by my own heart of pale lusty spring fades tuneless sounds.
O folly of ethereal grandeur,
O morbid sweet pleasure of dreaming! Adieu and farewell,
for the spring that hath burst joy’s quiet breath
dwells hooded and baffled with dim aching silence.

There was a time—O God, there was a time—when joy did move within me, wild and free, when laughter sprang not from performance, but from wonder, when fields were kingdoms, and sticks enchanted swords. Aye, then did I play—not to be seen, but to be.

"are you ok" no there are at least 5 national/global events that break my heart each week and it's only getting worse. Simple tasks are overwhelming. Existing feels like a chore. There is so much uncertainty in the present and in the future and l'm barely keeping it all together
