Joyful
Gratitude begins
like a drop of water
voluptuous and plump
freewheeling gleefully to the ground.
When she soaks into the soil,
She feeds the earth with her joy.
And all at once --
the feeling of flight
Prompts the seed to grow.
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
