Drift Poem by Daniel Brick
Drift
Live frugally on surprise.
Alice Walker
Yes, live with surprise,
make it an everyday companion
you can't be without.
Call it a miracle if you are faithful.
Call it chance if you are bold.
But make it always welcome.
Never hesitate to embrace surprise.
Your arms can easily enfold it:
it never resists your grasp.
Surprise is so weightless
you can carry it without fatigue
deep into the night.
And as day darkens into rest, let it
keep watch over your sleep.
It will summon the softest dreams
in the planetary drift of night,
and never betray your waking
until the least expected dream is true.
An utterly charming poem Daniel, as light, as embraceable, as surprise itself. The ambiguity of the last line is simply beautiful and I am completely lost in the anticipation of my own awakening.
I like how you personify surprise. Making it embraceable, weightless, and something that watches over Alice Walker. That's an interesting idea to me. Great job! -SOH
A life without surprises will be very bland...... Life becomes spicy with surprises.....! Human ingenuity exceeds limits.... Stretch the imagination to greater and greater lengths and the outcome will definitely surprise you! Yes, let us make surprise an everyday companion!
