This is a repost but it kind of hit me again the other day so I thought I'd throw it in here again.

The Shining Feeling

From where I stand I see the thaw
and on the frozen floor
the sun upon the glowing crust
is glistening bright and pure.

Upon the rolling marbled hills
the glossy snowdrifts ride.
There is no place nor earthly thrill
like springtime greenwood life.

A musty scent is on the air,
I lift my head and breathe.
Out of the sky I seem to hear
a calling on the breeze.

The sound of God and life and wild,
the sound of earth that grows,
out of the wind that whispers by
the sound of trees that moan.

I know just why it is I care,
I bend my head and pray.
I cannot lock them in my heart
these tear drops on my face.
© Eric True

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

ETHome~
You reach out and touch with your thoughts at a time when 'someone' needs to hear~

'I know just why it is I care,
I bend my head and pray.
I cannot lock them in my heart
these tear drops on my face.'

I have a special friend that I'd like to send this one to~
Thank you for sharing~
