Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is visions of truth, or epiphanies, in honor of Epiphany, which is celebrated on January 6.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
A philosophical name poem for someone who is able to preserve his pleasures by embracing his pain:
Lewis is a symphony of pleasures,
Embracing much that, shunned, would bring pure pain.
While death and illness, loss and hunger reign,
In him there is a treasuring of treasures:
Simple savoring, sweet-tongued and sane.
