Elizabeth lives


 Elizabeth lives

John Clare Stokes


She sent me a poem from the other side

To assure me in eternity we shall abide

Lately I've feigned the journey there

Seemed a land void of poetic melody

 She assured me

There's poetry a plenty

Why she sat with Blake beneath 

The fabled tree of life

Yeats waved clasping the lost child tight

Clare out there in the far pasture

Mary Joyce up on his shoulders

Thanks Ms Noyes for the assurance 

I'll try and weather this temporal disturbance.
