grieve not for me in the sighs of fine, sublime night. i have prepared a banquet grilled with thorns, mourns and deep forlorn, not the breeze, not the chirp, not the lyre
can sing a faint breath's hidden pang. be then the angel i long to hold: this heart refills a spirit sparking; a sacrament almost untold. night bleak no more nenette

I really enjoyed this poem, it seems very powerful yet gentle in tone, and I loved the internal rhyming in the opening stanza, it seemed to kick off the more resolute and hopeful aspect of this poem. I couldn't think of a more apt title for something so melodious and uplifting. Congratulations on your award.
