TODAY 2 May 2014

TODAY 

Today I read a poem and found it very relevant to  situation's we come across in life...esapecialy when unkindness's are said about others...


The poet Sylvia Plath 'nailed it' in her poem Words (1963):

Words  
Axes
After whose stroke the wood rings,
And the echoes!
Echoes traveling
Off from the center like horses.

The sap
Wells like tears, like the
Water striving
To re-establish its mirror
Over the rock

That drops and turns,
A white skull,
Eaten by weedy greens.
Years later I
Encounter them on the road----

Words dry and riderless,
The indefatigable hoof-taps.
While
From the bottom of the pool, fixed stars
Govern a life.
