Good morning. Welcome to poetry day on the blog. May today feel like you are immersed in your own poetry.
I’ve been a little under the weather the last few days with a bug, and I’ve noticed that the strange blessing of feeling unwell is that it slows you down enough to notice things that you normally wouldn’t notice. The other day, after a big rainstorm, the sun was catching the raindrops on our screened lanai and made them dazzle in their reflection on the pool. I was so intrigued that I took a video of it.
After Many Springs by Langston Hughes
Now,
In June,
When the night is a vast softness
Filled with blue stars,
And broken shafts of moon-glimmer
Fall upon the earth,
Am I too old to see the fairies dance?
I cannot find them any more.
Readers, I am happy to report that I am not too old to see fairies dance in June. Are you?
Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.
