Meditation does humble one doesn't it? The mundane, the very routine, can cause us pause if we take thought. For the Christian, regardless of how ordinary life can be he/she knows the Father cares. A most thought provoking poem, Graeme

I guess for one standing under the earth gravity would be quite a poser. Good poem Graeme

Graeme, a wonderful moment, and poem. In both meditation and in life, one should strive to be free of attachment to the good experiences, and free of aversion to the negative ones. A contempative life, for me. Nice writing.

Watch out for those angels... they still the draught, replace it with the water from the drain pipe, and conjure the essence of frustration. ;) All kidding aside, this is an impressive reflective work that forces the reader to think at multiple levels.

i can feel the melancholy in this... i can breathe it in... and drink it like a good ale... blessings...

amazing! and the form really helped drive this piece...

Graeme, the form, theme, thought, everything... make this poem memorable. L3-4 are the poem's essence and "humility" the key to the amount of learning. I'm glad this appeared on the list, because it's a reminder I need.

I guess the answer is to appreciate it, and not feel the need to 'capture' it, as you have so eloquently inferred here :)

Moments like this don’t come often enough. But when they do you gotta inch back and soak it up. Then when you stop the world from spinning and take a breath it everything resonates with the clarity of a mountain stream. I like this poem for it’s contemplative mood and cogent message. Good stuff, Graeme!
