Now it is time that gods came walking out
of lived-in Things. . .
Time that they came and knocked down every wall
inside my house. New page. Only the wind
from such a turning could be strong enough
to toss the air as a shovel tosses dirt:
a fresh-turned field of breath. O gods, gods!
who used to come so often and are still
asleep in the Things around us, who serenely
rise and at wells that we can only guess at
splash icy water on your necks and faces,
and lightly add your restedness to what seems
already filled to bursting: our full lives.
Once again let it be your morning, gods.
We keep repeating. You alone are source.
With you the world arises, and your dawn
gleams on each crack and crevice of our failure . . .

I couldn't help but notice your user name is Icarus. So tell me, how did the wings work out for you??

You shall always have a place in my heart because you reached for the heights. You shall always have a place in history as the first case of meltdown. Not bad for one set of wings. Always reach for the heights.

I'd like to say I would have done things differently, but...
No.
Not really.
Despite the meltdown and crashing...no.

I know this is sudden and maybe you need more time. But, I just hate it when someone who tweeks my imagination comes into my life with a comment or a post then disapears just as quickly. So I will do something here I rarely do, and ask that we add each other to our respective friends list. Would this be ok with you? Who knows maybe I can be there so soften the landing next time you fall. LOL
