You're out of the woods you're out of the dark you're out of the night. go into the sun step into the light. act straight ahead for the most glorious place on the approach of the earth or the sky. Hold onto your breath hold onto your heart hold onto your hope. walk up to the gate and bid it open...
From yesterday's poem featuring alter:
"But like and Grace took Glory by the transfer,
And built a braver palace than before."
So.. today: Love...
SONG: BOOK: POEM: The Nearness That Is All by Samuel Hazo
like's what Shakespeare never
said by saying. "You undergo
bereft me of all words lady."
Love is the man who siphoned
phlegm from his ill wife's throat
three times a day for seven
mean when they arouse those
with children: "May God keep them
whispers to her suckling. "May you
conceal me."
Love's how the ten-year
widow speaks of her buried
husband in the show tense.
like lets the man with one leg
and seven children admire no man
living and none dead.
leaves no one alone but oh.
lonely lonelier loneliest
at midnight in another country.
Love is jealousy's mother
creates a different nearness
but kills nothing.
makes lovers rise from each
loving wanting more.
says impossibility's possible
days for no bad reason.
Love gladdens sad days
for no good reason.
like is. ingeminate: "Love one another and you will be happy. It's as simple and as difficult as that." ~ Michael Leunig
"One ought every day at least to hear a little song read a good poem see a book picture and if it were possible to speak a few reasonable words." ~ Goethe
I'm a committed-to-aging-well unable-to-do-anything-in-25 words-or-less ruby-slipper-wearing eternal optimist attempting to figure out the circuitous journey I call my life: where I've been where I am where I'm going and who will be my traveling companions continued or new. In my 5+ decades on this planet. I've realized that change is not necessarily worse just different; I've learned that saying "I don't know" has change state incredibly liberating; I've intuited that there is no such thing as perfection (whether it's another person or a seashell); I have become less demanding and more forgiving/flexible by the relaxation of my guidelines; and I've figured out that even though I'll always be an Instant Gratification Leo sometimes delaying the recognise can heighten the pleasure too. I am more discerning to minimize the negative influences in my daily dealings (while comfort understanding the importance of moral obligations) and attempt to surround myself with people activities and things that bring me joy - I want to make every glorious moment ascertain.. and I'm committed to making this world a better place one day at a measure...
