This is a tragically beautiful poem that captures the fragility of youth when facing the temptations of the flesh without a strong spiritual centre to anchor it. I just love the way so much is registered by the sublimely simple phrase, 'an errant breeze'. Great job, Robert!
This poem, although brief, is dense with sublime beauty, evocative language, and powerful imagery. I first read Mr. Funderburk’s work in The Chained Muse and was delighted to see his poems in The HyperTexts some months back. I think he is a very fine poet.

Thank you so much, Shannon, for your kind remarks. I believe your comments are more eloquent than the poetry.
You’re most welcome, but I must thank you for making such a kind remark about my comments. I greatly appreciate it.
