Discretion


 

The cloud around
A rattling kettle lid
Is inattention.
Not all I know
Concerns me,
But I must mind
The burner, adjust,
Learn order,
Depute some trust
To hands and heart,
Feel liberty
And think of thought
As art.

  1. Love these words...
    *Depute some trust
    To hands and heart *

    *And think of thought
    As art*

    Indeed!
    Nice!

  2. Liberty is such a great word, and I hardly ever hear it anymore.

    You always have great lines...I agree with what Margie said, and also, 'Not all I know concerns me...,' so good!

  3. If you're as handy in the kitchen as you are with poesy, you must serve up some mighty fine gourmet meals. The next time I get steamed about something, I'll remember to "mind the burner, adjust."

  4. As I read your lovely thoughts in previous posts, it occurred to me how tender the words are, how caring the thoughts. How marvelous is your garden.
