Transcript: Yonder by K. Blackwood I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with Y. I’ll give you a clue: it moves with a fluid grace Moving down then up, unravelling a thread behind it. Bulbous in its form Spun with method and the instinct of far less years than I, And yet it spins in the wind. Buffeted by forces it cannot see And nature beyond its control Though; You probably cannot see it, Even though you definitely have the vantage. Do you have eyes out there while you stand guard on me? On the kid whirling with their yoyo, casting wild and free. Though perhaps I should have chosen yonder. Staring out the window at the places I cannot go. Forced to consider an overlooked view. I must concentrate to see, and take stock of what might be I can survey my domain, limited as it is and confidently say: B is for a well read book P is for some paper K is for the knitted blanket, a childhood wrapped in patchwork, stitched with cares and love W is for the wisdom of my peers and T is for the thought that my colleagues wouldn’t be here. I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with H; H is for the Hope that all my friends are safe.

I love Martin's poetry, although I can't help but to feel there's more behind it.
