“Use what talents you possess…The woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those who sung best.” Henry Van Dyke
poets weave
twenty-six letters
into thoughts
impressions
words to inspire, to move
and then blame the muse

“Try to imagine what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up… now try to imagine what it was like to wake up having never gone to sleep.” – Alan Watts
upside down,
gravity immune,
gaslit dreams
are nightmares
that becomes more horrible
when people wake up

A Shadorma (3/5/3/3/7/5) for MindLoveMisery’sMenagerie Sunday Writing Challenge: to write a poem based on an Alan Watt’s quote. (see above)
‘Once more the storm is howling, and half hid
Under this cradle-hood and coverlid
My child sleeps on.’
—W.B. Yeats
First Light
rememb’ring
when first I met you
deep dark eyes
sweet milk breath
a glimpse of eternity
bundled in bunting
