Poetry of Presence

“Go, sit upon the lofty hill, And turn your eyes around, Where waving woods and waters wild Do hymn an autumn sound. The summer sun is faint on them— The summer flowers depart— Sit still— as all transformed to stone, Except your musing heart.” – Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“come back
believer in shade
believer in silence and elegance
believer in ferns
believer in patience
believer in the rain”― W.S. Merwin

One foot in summer.
One foot in fall.
Thresholds and transitions.
The middle place.
Where we reside often.
See the beauty in this place.
Joy in this moment.
Fresh canvas today.
What will you see for the first time.
Poetry of presence.

“Poetry is a way of looking at the world for the first time.”― W.S. Merwin
