2008YIP: Days 24-29
I've been remiss in posting the results of my pic-a-day project here. Let's see if I can catch up.
Day 23: return of the lights
Day 24: only the straight gaze
Because what I want most is permanence,
What I do best is bury fire now,
To bank the blaze within, and out of sense,
Where hidden fires and rivers burn and flow,
Create a world that is still and intense
I come to you with only the straight gaze.
These are not hours of fire but years of praise,
The glass full to the brim, completely full,
But held in balance so no drop can spill.
- from 'Because What I Want Most is Permanence,' by May Sarton
