Thankful Tuesday

Thankful for the music I see, with my bare unlidded eyes.

Thankful for the poetry I hear, and the colors the jealous can’t hear.

Thankful for the powers that be and for the unhaunted quiet of nothingness.

Thankful for my memory intact, may I always be true to my maidenhood.

Happy, happy glowing fire! Fragrant air! Delicious light! Let me to my gloom retire! I to green-weed rivers bright!*

Happy, happy glowing life! Dazzling like a rose on a briar that lets the air transport her essence and captivates the bees to bide.

“Over the hill and over the dale,
And over the bourne to Dawlish,
Where ginger-bread wives have a scanty sale,
And gingerbread nuts are smallish.”

~ John Keats.

I’m over the hill and feel like a kid,
Waking up on Christmas morning
To a dream I once dreamt, cleaved to my eyelid,
Now melting me with heartwarming.
