Words can hint at depths too deep to swim,
Gulfs too wide for fragile man,
Lives too numerous for this heart
To beat them all;
Winter’s breath of sorrow,
Spring’s new born youth,
The juice of life freshly pressed
On the page for easy reading.
And yet…the void of our incomprehension calls;
Tears for that so far beyond us,
Like a child’s first glimpse of love
In the eyes of passing strangers.

Such depth of sadness in “tears for that so far beyond us…”

Sadness and a kind of awe and fear for that so far beyond us glimpsed too early…

‘Like a child’s first glimpse of love
In the eyes of passing strangers.’…
In this truly beautiful poem I like this end particularly, because this first glimpse of love, received as a child, will surely grow into a full experience of it when the child grows – just as our present humanity will one day be familiar with all this that you describe, that now feels so far and unattainable…

Thanks as ever for reading Braga, and your interesting comments. You’ve gone off on a tangent with this one, but I love your interpretation.

You write with a depth that allows the reader to experience much, I did.
