In love again

 In love again

 

Being in love is wonderful 

just like Spring in your heart. 

Everything is different. 

Everything glows. 

If you’re in love 

everything is pretty and sunny 

because up to now 

you’ve become half blind, 

blinded by the depressing, 

heavy view of life. 

There are many sides to being in love. 

But there is one kind of love 

that we need more  than ever before 

in our complicated, problem-laden society, 

in our society which has had an overdose of psychiatry. 

It is being in love 

with ordinary everyday things.  

Recent discoveries 

have not been discoveries of wisdom,  

but discoveries of speed 

that don’t bring us one step  

closer to happiness. 

Discover again with me  

The ordinary things, 

The simple charm 

of friendship , 

a few flowers for a sick person, 

an open door, a welcoming table, 

eating plain old fish and French fries  

or a hamburger, 

lazing in a garden chair 

gazing at the sky, 

a handshake, a grin, 

the quiet of a church, 

a child’s drawing, 

the opening of a bud, 

the chirping of a bird, 

a row of poplars, 

a stream, a mountain, a cow… 

Life becomes a feast  

If you can enjoy ordinary everyday things. 

It is Spring! Yippee! 

I’m in love again 

-with ordinary things 

Don’t forget  

That every day is given to you 

As an eternity to be happy. 

The Snow Fairy

 

The Snow Fairy

BY CLAUDE MCKAY

 IThroughout the afternoon I watched them there,Snow-fairies falling, falling from the sky,Whirling fantastic in the misty air,Contending fierce for space supremacy.And they flew down a mightier force at night,As though in heaven there was revolt and riot,And they, frail things had taken panic flightDown to the calm earth seeking peace and quiet.I went to bed and rose at early dawnTo see them huddled together in a heap,Each merged into the other upon the lawn,Worn out by the sharp struggle, fast asleep.The sun shone brightly on them half the day,By night they stealthily had stol’n away.     IIAnd suddenly my thoughts then turned to youWho came to me upon a winter’s night,When snow-sprites round my attic window flew,Your hair disheveled, eyes aglow with light.My heart was like the weather when you came,The wanton winds were blowing loud and long;But you, with joy and passion all aflame,You danced and sang a lilting summer song.I made room for you in my little bed,Took covers from the closet fresh and warm,A downful pillow for your scented head,And lay down with you resting in my arm.You went with Dawn. You left me ere the day,The lonely actor of a dreamy play.

The Hare And His Ears

by 


The Lion had been badly hurt by the horns of a Goat, which he was eating. He was very angry to think that any animal that he chose for a meal, should be so brazen as to wear such dangerous things as horns to scratch him while he ate. So he commanded that all animals with horns should leave his domains within twenty-four hours.

The command struck terror among the beasts. All those who were so unfortunate as to have horns, began to pack up and move out. Even the Hare, who, as you know, has no horns and so had nothing to fear, passed a very restless night, dreaming awful dreams about the fearful Lion.

And when he came out of the warren in the early morning sunshine, and there saw the shadow cast by his long and pointed ears, a terrible fright seized him.

"Goodby, neighbor Cricket," he called. "I'm off. He will certainly make out that my ears are horns, no matter what I say."

Your enemies will seize any excuse to attack you.
