Thank you for this one. The older I get the more "ghosts from the past" I seem to encounter. Nice to know (as with most experiences in life) a poet has already been there before, and charted the waters.
Winans said that there was basically no difference between his life and his poetry. I can feel that from this wonderful piece as I sense that I too am kissing “the feet of angels” tip-toeing through it line by exquisite line.

Beautiful poem evoking a story structure which lingers in a moment of reflection, develops a note into a symphony, distills it into a punctal moment, opening out to eternity. Reminds me of Dunsany's short story 'The Workman' from Fifty-One Tales (https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/7838/pg7838-images.html#:~:text=made%20for%20Helen.-,THE%20WORKMAN,-I%20saw%20a)
At times when it is most needed, a powerful poem appears. Grateful for the A.D. Winans spotlight.
Can't I just SWIM with Li Po in a nice pool of red wine? Is that an option?
Stunning beauty. Kauffman Black Messiah - 10,000 saxophones and a band of angels …thank you for memories of love and war.
One of A.D.’s finest. Damn.
Beautiful sadness.

I love this! Must read more of his poetry.
'Beautiful sadness' was a comment. Yes and no. I'm okay for a new adventure. I still feel the magic.
