poesie, short thoughts

 If you listen, he’ll tell you about the time he thought he was an angel or dreamt of being perfect.  And then he’ll smile with wisdom, content that he’d realized the world isn’t perfect.  We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.

every man’s an angel

poem by walt whitman

I believe I could build a utopia

With the western third of the land

(Poem by Walt Whitman)

 

I believe I could build a utopia

With the western third of the land

 

To thrust in the earth ears of barley

And pull up bread with my hands

 

The night of the crickets is fading

And the dawn of new orders is nigh

 

The gates are lit by the torches

They rival the bright of the sky

 

They rival the bright of the sky, the sky

they rival the bright of the sky!
