“Idon't collect words. I collect. Hearts. Sounds. Tastes. Souls.”
― J.H

“nothing lay so clear
before those who stood
on these banks than the great
canopy of sky that spread
above them and poured forth
its endless light
and everything it seemed
stood eternal here
all that was laid bare
or the golden light
of grain heading out
in summer calls them all
and gazing into it
they see summers
spread everywhere before
them flowing through
the air generations of the sun
standing in sheaves
while over all of them
the silent river and
the grass against their feet
a star unmoving
stands beyond anyone’s grasp
this is the light that draws them all into
the dream of what will be
when they no longer walk here
possibility
rises in the light
as if every dawn
turned departure toward
endless arrivals
where only the rising sun
holds time in its light
asleep upon our hands
but of the past of all
who stand here it is
somewhere other than now
intermittent in
the sky as if it were
the moon floating away
and all that is recalled
growing dimmer through
the evenings of the mind”
― E.D. Blodgett, Poems for a Small Park
