Today's poet

[Derby Tup]

Tup's boiler's broken
strange gurgling sounds precede
drip, drip, drip, drip, drip...

[freckle]

I found this gem while just perusing, as one does, and it struck a cord.....

The Answer I Will Offer You

The Answer I Will Offer You
The act of creation is perhaps
more important
than love

certainly more
constant and
tangible

to fill the emptiness
with something that wasn’t
there before

is a grand defiance

and the only form of hope

I truly understand

it is the answer I will offer you
no matter the question

it may well be
the last bit of grace
left to us

and right here
and now
I tell you
it is

enough.

William Taylor Jnr

that made him once relent

to be a Pilgrim.......I've forgotten what they taught me in the classroom but still remember the hymns
