A Day's Devotion


To know and possess
the wealth of this afternoon –
get the most of life.

To see the sun rise
or go down every day
full of news to me.

To see what transpires
in the mind and heart of me –
go where my life is.

To attend each thought
every phenomena and 
oratorio.

To grow green with spring
yellow and ripe with autumn –
to live each season.

So I help myself,
loving my life as I should –
a day's devotion.

out-of-doors, in its own locality."

A journal, a book that shall contain a record of all your joy.
"A stone fruit. Each one yields me a thought." ~ H. D. Thoreau, March 28, 1859


I sit on this rock
wrestling with the melody
that possesses me.
