I agree. It's the most amazing poem ever! I first heard it years ago in that wedding-film with Hugh Grant, when a grieving widower read the poem aloud at a funeral. "Stop the clocks..." OMG that is poetry. I dream of being able to write poetry like that.

I feel the same about Mary Oliver, Billy Collins, and others.

Others who write on Medium. They leave me in awe.
