A peaceful sort of poem
Sep. 20th, 2005 07:36 pmI'm joining those of my friends who are posting poems today. The meme is this:
When you read this, post some poetry in your journal.
The Mirror
Between the woods the afternoon
Is fallen in a golden swoon,
The sun looks down from quiet skies
To where a quiet water lies,
And silent trees stoop down to trees.
And there I saw a white swan make
Another white swan in the lake;
And, breast to breast, both motionless,
They waited for the wind's caress. . .
And all the water was at ease.
-- A.A. Milne
