lucky one

Inspired by the phrase ‘I long to kneel instantly at your feet‘, from the poem ‘Madonna of the Evening Flowers’ written by Amy Lowell. This now comprises a part of The Linkages Project

I wake up
to a shining day

no smoke
no cloud
to play before
my eyes

I look across the sky
to the gold
and to the blue

I look
all around

earth green and brown

and then I see
a shape I know

busy in the garden

busy
with the singing

busy with
the life that comes
with breathing air
like this

radiating
all . . .

everything
that is good

I want to throw
myself
down onto my knees
right there
at your feet

these are those days
such
shining days

days
when I know
without a doubt
that
the lucky one
is me
