The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

No poem comes close. Simple, yet immersive.

It's not my favorite poem, but I found it on this guy's channel of all places and I like his reading of it, and it was fitting for memorial day

at 6:05 he kinda explains it and reads https://youtu.be/8bU-wNnM2cQ

In favor of what - sleeping?

seek me
in the morning ray
just before your eyes open
in that to which the birds pray

find me
beyond the lake of sorrows
on an island
of oblivion`s tomorrows

where black silken phantoms
hum to sleep
the woes of man

forgetting futility
amidst the crystal abysses
of innocence`s eyes

we die in tranquility
in tender kisses
under meaningful skies

why do I still come here
amids old pictures
gazed at
by such youthful eyes

why do i whisper
so gingerly
when i know i will not hear
what others think of me

is it a doomed desire
for connection
or a hopeful pyre
from which shall arise inspiration

or maybe a vow,
for a stranger`s ears,
a quiet promise:
"I care"
