Around the Corner

Sometimes the eye
can see
around a corner of
delight

and it dances
in the silver dawn
of what may come
to be

lured by visions
open wide to the
mystic pupils of wonder

These are the threads
of inspiration we spin
to knit a shawl
of comfort and
warmth

that turns the most
menial task,
the most trivial act
into a celebration of life

in the glimmering
eye’s expectation
of what dwells
around the corner
which we may

never turn

I would love to cross-stitch this on a pillow so that I can sleep with it. Always an inspiration, Liz! You always seem to see hope in what cannot be seen.

Elizabeth, This is simply charming. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

In that "we may
never turn" moment
is when it is best
to hit the buzzer
of life and grab
a few more moments
of dream...

You dear lady are always turning your thoughts and words "into a celebration of life", and I for one, thank you. This was beautifully done by an extraordinary poet.
