Galway Kinnell (1927) …a poem fragment
Dec 14th, 2009 | By butterfly | Category: Poetry and Inspiration, Visual Art
The bud
stands for all things,
even for those things that don’t flower,
for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing;
though sometimes it is necessary
to reteach a thing its loveliness,
to put a hand on the brow of the flower,
and retell it in words and in touch,
it is lovely,
until it flowers again from within,
of self-blessing
