A year's worth of poems, every week for 52 weeks, spanning 2023 and 2024, plus the year following, from August 2024 to August 2025.(provided I live that long, of course).
Thank you, Allan Charles. I've contested the Charlie Chaplin thing a couple of times, won once, if I remember correctly. But it's the kind of thing I try when bored and have nothing better to do - just doesn't seem to have happened lately.
Some things are so special,
moments of bright sunbursts
of awareness, scattered
as mountain peaks in the foothills
of life, high experiences
that shine their crystal clarity
and illumine the dark corners
forever.
To speak of them in hope
of understanding is to demean
the mystery, to drain the nearness
of the divine with earthly care,
the perfect light of that instant
sullied with inspection and
force feeding the replete.
‘Tis enough to say
God spoke.
