The series of unending locks
becomes the frame on which to hang
bedtime notes, a transparent
mosquito net.
Confluence comes easy.
The splendor of merged silence
breeds a suite knowledge,
an exultant tutelage.
The splendor of merged silence
breeds a suite knowledge,
an exultant tutelage.
Everything is understood.
I think about the tender lessons,
how each lock is picked and turned –
the unbridled learning.
I think about the tender lessons,
how each lock is picked and turned –

ReplyDeleteMessages are time-locked for one to discover them and then to react. More often than not one gets distracted and discovers those positive messages after the fact. Correcting them then may not be at their best. Remedial actions are not maximized. How true Tess! Great thoughts!
