distracted by daylight
i've wandered in the green
forgetting my soul
until now

the golden tablet dissolves
submerged in a bath of trees
and spreads like fine powder
magenta in the sky

silvered night rises
a trembling steeple within me
to pierce with hopeful longing
the flesh of my poor heart

and all the world is flesh
cooling underneath the sky
quiet and deep and full
of more than human feeling

but you my love are spirit
never gathered nor dispersed
everpresent, undiscovered
and observant

I remember Eliot's evening etherized upon a table in the penultimate stanza. Sublime ideas and images from the 3rd stanza onwards... Image of the sun as being a golden tablet (I have it correct I hope?) is very good....

Thanks. The setting sun, yes.
