Today’s submission is by the photographer and poet Rick Wright.
The Song
The song
wouldn’t come out
from under
the soul’s wall
Notes have lept over
some nights
But, it is held
fast
and down
And those notes I heard
brief words
those nights
writing life
Make me think it will.
-Rick Wright
And the why:
I love the poem for its sense of longing and optimism. That we might
see our loved ones become fully conscioius of their own power. The
child about to walk. We watch and root them on.
Poem of the Month

those nights
writing life”

I really like this poem because I can identify with it and I really like that you include your own feelings (the “why”) its a unique touch
