Why not call the
moment of certainty, the fleeting moment
when everything that ever lived is right
behind my pounding heart, why not call
that moment: Beat-of-the-thousand-wings-
of-God-inside-my-chest.

what a perfect description
God’s been inside the whole time?
Wow, LOVE this.
Apparently, yes.
Raining cats and dogs here (and birds). Still night at 5:40 am. Perfect words and gif to clear the way.
Beautiful morning here. 😋
How beautiful…
Yes, and then ask it to stay until we’re winged — or at least for a full minute. 🙂 Lovely musing/offering. Have a wonderful day, DK and everyone!
Smiling. So true Carol.
Just right 💛
It is.

I do love Nepo!
Me too!
Why not?
That’s right!
So beautiful
It is.
This is über-beautiful – I just love that tender heaving of the bird’s chest…. and that poetry – unravels me (in a good way).
Unravels me. Love that.
Have just sent it to a friend who I felt, needed it. With a French translation…. went well. But I find myself ubable to come up with a poetic German translation. Must work on it.
I have no doubt it will come to you. At the right time.
Did it, just before midnight…. 🙂
Amazing!
Almost missed this precious offering…glad I never delete your messages before I’ve read them! …never too late…
So glad!
Yes, why not?
Exactly!
