The little
gifts always matter
The little
songs always matter
for
We are all
held together
By the
gifts, by the songs
Go out into
the woods, go out play in the sea
Listen to
the snow melting, listen to the flowers blooming
The birds
sing love songs to one another
The ants
weave encrypted messages altogether
Go out fly
to the zenith, go out dive into the pacific
Sit on the
roof, climb on to the ship’s mast
Dance to the
number of crazy beast
Count the
stars, play with the gold sand dunes
Fill some
light into the ancient ruins
Everything
is a song.
Everything is a gift.
Everything has
a tale, everything is a gift
Everything is a song.

@Monika: Such a happy constellation of lines.
I remember some lines I had written on the back of paper-napkin a few days back; see if you can relate:
"I thought it would work this way
The moment is, that was, gone,
There would
Always be moments—
When a rough kiss could change the world;
Inside the secret cove
of paper hearts
I tremble at the false alarms.
I wander about serpentine streets
Sometimes thirsty and sometimes too full
And feel
The sharp and tender nervousness
Lurking inside the citadel of clever hopes;
I lay my sleeping head
On the table and hear
The murmuring of cloistered water beneath stone-fidelity.
Admirer as I think I would be
Of battles long lost and half-won
I cannot stop
And enjoy the subjugation of ugly faces
For the warped and the waste cling to my raiment
Like playful nuns in a grape-vine;
Their mirth goes forth unto the ends of the earth
And what will survive of us is love.
Of course, I'm indebted to Auden, and Larkin, for the lines!
Beautifully done.
Go out fly to the zenith, go out dive into the pacific...This surely depicts my wish list :)
@ Minko,what will survive of us is love :)
@ Sunakshi, Go now, why wait?
@Monika: Thankfully so!
Otherwise, the memory of living a life would have been a null matrix!
May you be blessed with the gifts and songs from the crazy beast!! Definately driven by the feel of oblivion after reading these..
It's moving season! The summer time brings lots of home buyers and people moving to new apartments. So it seems appropriate to talk about a great housewarming gift. wedding anniversary gifts
