“The intellect wants to know; the soul likes to be surprised.”
~ Thomas Moore, Care of the Soul, p. 233
What I don’t know is
if a tiny black druid
croons like a grasshopper
in the wood stove
of my soul, singing
summer’s tune, rubbing
witch-hazel and rosemary,
divining love's heat
from fear's icy skin. A leap
from the lines of earth,
or the lines of Keats,
their busy, bending legs
that never tire, forever.
"The poetry of earth is never dead."
~ John Keats, from “On the Grasshopper and Cricket”
