Icarus @ 59 # 137

A quiet start to a Sunday, with early grey tea and the back door open. I will mark dissertations in the morning, gather groceries and once the garden dries out I will sit and strum this guitar in the fresh air. Yesterday's football win has already past. The boys (men actually - Dan being one of the youngest in the team) were all delighted and it was good to be part of the event, getting them organised, and making the changes when necessary. Its a simple life really, full of little events, and indeed full to the brim but simple. Of course that doesn't mean the heart has stopped beating, I can still read Emily Dickinson:
WILD nights! Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!  

Futile the winds
To a heart in port,
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart.  

Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!
Might I but moor
To-night in thee!

Where did you go on that big black night? Did you take the coast road back through your life?
