I MUST STAY DRUNK ON WRITING SO REALITY DOES NOT DESTROY ME.
These are beautiful words. We found a version of this on a notice board in a gallery/museum when on a trip some years ago. We took a photograph of it then; later I found it online, and discovered that it was written by Joe Miller for a children's book, illustrated by Wilson McLean. I mentioned it in a post last year :) https://twilightstarsong.blogspot.com/2017/09/hand-held-earth.html
This is a profound truth.
ReplyDeleteHow silly we humans are, never appreciating anything until it is gone.
In 1975 Joe Miller was ahead of his time and sadly prophetic.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful indeed. Thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteReal nice share. Wish I could write something like that!
ReplyDeleteOh, what we take for granted.

How very true. And of course they'd be horrified if there were tiny creatures living on it who were hell-bent on destroying it as fast as possible.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Printed it out and put in my journal Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteOh, this is quite a delightful presentation of these descriptive words.
