BLESSINGS
Photo by S. Auberle
Bless this sun, this summer day,
bless the lake, the trees,
the thrush singing in the oak,
bless that black-as-the-devil raven,
muttering old prayers.
Bless you and me.
Immerse us in August heat
till we burn with joy,
till we remember
what has been forgotten:
how high Icarus flew
before he fell...

Hi Jackie,
thanks, and I will definitely
be visiting your corner of the blogworld soon, now that I've figured out how to get there.
