How I Wish To Live

How I Wish To Live belongs to the following groups:

All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical

As if I stood in the long blond wild oats
of an twilight field, mesmerizing crickets;

as if by pounding a great drum
late at night, I fixed the stars in their sockets;

as if at dawn I gathered bracken dew
and fed the last sequoia; as though by afternoon

my shallow curve of life stretched
to form the perfect arc—echoing

the passage of the moon.

. . . . .

Sinister Wisdom, 2007

    beautiful!
    actual depth of life can be felt in this poem I believe.

    Thanks Glitter. I try to write from a felt source of inspiration, tempered by my love of language. This particular poem has special meaning for me. Glad you enjoyed it.
