(one of my favorite quotes)
From all over God’s earth
from sundry trails
we come; to languish in
the vexing delight
held in the arms of
a poem
nothing quite compares, it seems
no other form of art
can evoke or charm
the seeker who dreams
best in the arms of
a poem
its lure, its lull
its push and pull
are like coming home
to a flickering fireside
in the patient arms of
a poem

Janet, you know I love a good quote, or poem :) The last post of mine has a George Eliot poem at the top, "Roses" which I've been waiting to use... her words almost make my artwork come alive ~ it just amazes me! You have an amazing gift as well ~ thank you for sharing with us all! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYuriy: Janet, immensely adore your title, this quote and the adjoining charm of lines. : )
ReplyDeleteThank-you:) for 'feeling' it.
ReplyDeleteLove this Janet!!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's in the arms of a poem such as yours that some seekers dream best and are warmed.
ReplyDeleteMegan, very, very seldom do I check my spam folder but recently I am getting too much stuff that I assume is spam so I decided I better check and see if any 'real' comments are being dumped in spam and I found yours! Thank-you so much. I will see you shortly on the post you speak of:)
ReplyDeleteThank-you for your thoughts and visit!
