No, I do not believe Sri is as common as Robert Frost - but he's still an amazing poet. One of the many I look up to. I also love Emily thingyenson's "Because I Could Not Stop For Death". It's, again, one of my favorites.

Wow. I never noticed that foolish typo. Emily thingyENSON is a very good poet. I looked up a few more by Sri.
"Immortality"
I feel in all my limbs His boundless Grace; Within my heart the Truth of life shines white. The secret heights of God my soul now climbs; No dole, no sombre pang, no death in my sight.
No mortal days and nights can shake my calm; A Light above sustains my secret soul. All doubts with grief are banished from my deeps, My eyes of light perceive my cherished Goal.
Though in the world, I am above its woe; I dwell in an ocean of supreme release. My mind, a core of the One's unmeasured thoughts; The star vast welkin hugs my Spirit's peace.
My eternal days are found in speeding time; I play upon His Flute of rhapsody. Impossible deeds no more impossible seem; In birth chains now shines Immortality.
"Love Is This, Love Is Also That"
Love is the road that leads Our souls to union vast. Love is the passion-storm That sports with our vital dust.
Love's child is emotion-flame. Love's eyes are freedom, fear. Love's heart is breath or death. And love is cheap, love dear.
"My Last Word" My last word You will hear. With this hope I still exist on earth. Let me dance in Your Heart always, In the nights of sorrow and in the days of joy. I feel that the torture of happiness is more painful Than the torture of sorrow, For when I am in joy I forget You; I hurt your heart.
All by Sri.

Lol. There are so many ways to cheat the guards... They didn't like me writing a-ssistant, either. Yet assassin is okay. Why I don't know.

I don't like filters, that much. It's annoying when your trying to read what someone wrote and there's all these weird things in it.
