In the Beeloud Glade

Let Ecclesiastes and Auden be your guide to this affair; find contentment in all things. Sow peace and reap joy.

An Eastern Ballad ~ Allen Ginsburg

sharingpoetry:

I speak of love that comes to mind:
The moon is faithful, although blind;
She moves in thought she cannot speak.
Perfect care has made her bleak.

I never dreamed the sea so deep,
The earth so dark; so long my sleep,
I have become another child.
I wake to see the world go wild.
