Alone by the stillness of the air

By the crisp clarity that cuts

This is such a succinct and poignant statement of a universal feeling that, I think, many experience but few can articulate---epsecially as well as you have articulated it here.  I remember experiencing that same shocking emotion in early 1978, when, for the first time in my immaturity, the light was emptied of illumination of that which I most wanted to see.  I can remember that experience as if it happened yesterday.  But I have never seen it expressed so poetically until in this poem today, this poem to which random browsing brought me.  I applaud your accomplishment here.
