Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.”

“Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

Text of poem - The Presence. I pray and incur silence. Some take that silence for refusal. I feel the power that, invisible, catches me by the sleeve, nudging towards the long shelf that has the book on it I will take down and read and find the antidote to an ailment. I know its ways with me; how it enters my life, is present rather before I perceive it, sunlight quivering on a bare wall. Is it consciousness trying to get through? Am I under regard? It takes me seconds to focus, by which time it has shifted its gaze, looking a little to one side, as though I were not here. It has the universe to be abroad in. There is nothing I can do but fill myself with my own silence, hoping it will approach like a wild creature to drink there, or perhaps like Narcissus to linger a moment over its transparent face.

Roath Park, Caerdydd. In the foreground is the memorial to the ill-fated expedition to the South Pole, lead by Scott. The expedition had set off from Caerdydd. The whole team died, including Welshman Edgar Evans, from Gower.

The photo shows a tall, white clock tower standing on a small platform in the middle of a calm lake. A blue door sits at the base of the tower, and a railing runs along the foreground. Trees and houses line the far shore under a lightly clouded sky.

‘Flowers’ - #RSThomas
(Between Here and Now, Macmillan)
#Blodau #Flowers
#Bardd #Barddoniaeth #Cerdd
#Poet #Poetry #Poem
Text of poem - Flowers. But behind the flower is that other flower which is ageless, the idea of the flower, the one we smell when we imagine it, that as often as it is picked blossoms again, that has the perfection of all flowers, the purity without the fragility. Was it a part of the plan for humanity to have flowers about it? They are many and beautiful, with faces that are a reminder of those of our own children, though they come painlessly from the bulb's womb. We trouble them as we go by, so they hang their heads at our unreal progress. If flowers had minds, would they not think they were the colour eternity is, a window that gives on a still view the hurrying people must come to and stare at and pass by?

‘Bent’ - #RSThomas
(Between Here and Now, Macmillan)
#Bardd #Barddoniaeth #Cerdd
#Poet #Poetry #Poem
Text of poem - Bent. Heads bowed over the entrails, over the manuscript, the block, over the rows of swedes. Do they never look up? Why should one think that to be on one's knees is to pray? The aim is to walk tall in the sun. Did the weight of the jaw bend their backs, keeping their vision below the horizon? Two million years in straightening them out, and they are still bent over the charts, the instruments, the drawing-board, the mathematical navel that is the wink of God.

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”

basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.

i feel that with my dad.
