If We Have Written In Sand Poem by Mary Angela Douglas
If We Have Written In Sand
if we have written in sand
if we have spoken in snows
if we have died like roses die
and come back blossoming
in a farther Spring
or sung in between the lines
in the play that was never ours after all,
a subtext of sighs-of prayers that are heard
the instant you understand
how lucky it is to be here on earth
suspended on this blue and green pendant;
on a Tree of stars.

Beautiful images, and enjoyable word flow, thank you for sharing your fine work
Thank you very much. Being in a mood of frustration with so much nonsense that is going on in the literary world/community I realized again that you can always fall back into a mood of extreme gratitude that poetry exists at all and no matter what, that we exist too. Also whenever I feel gloomy about the state of modern poetry I think, so much immortal poetry has already been written and we can still read it and rejoice in it. There is always hope when you try to be grateful.
