“Good poetry begins with
the lightest touch,
a breeze arriving from nowhere,
a whispered healing arrival,
a word in your ear,
a settling into things,
then like a hand in the dark
it arrests your whole body,
steeling you for revelation.
In the silence that follows
a great line
you can feel Lazarus
deep inside
even the laziest, most deathly afraid
part of you,
lift up his hands and walk toward the light.”

Have never tried my hand at poetry, Bill, but this is almost an inducement to start….
Loved this Bill. Thank you.
Thanks David!
That was lovely, what a great read to go and walk out in the sun, have a picnic under a tree by myself and write.
so touching! Thank you!
