> “ _Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?_ ” (John Keats)

A little piece of Heaven

Fallen to the Earth

Lightness made

Heavy

In the

Transubstantiation

Of birth

Kindled from the

Darkness

Sung into being

From

An infinite

Shining no-thing

* * *

Thrown-blown

Ringing-round

Singing

Bringing

Divinity

* * *

Free from useless

Suffering

Though you must be

Beset

With pain from

Time to time

* * *

No one has the

Power to let you

Down

Yet it be in your

False expectation of

Them

* * *

That applies equally

To your view of you

My lovely bones!

Find your way

Among the cherry

Blossom paths

Riding the apple carts

‘ _down the rivers of the windfall light_ ’

* * *

See clearly and be

That soulful defender

Hector!

And to Hell with the

Consequences

Sow without care

Of reaping

Keeping

Faith with

Broad-shouldered

Earth

* * *

Love from Daddy xx

* * *
