Dear Reader


Dear Reader,

Are you taking tea in the UK?
Swimming in the Black Sea?
Running in heels to catch a cab in Singapore?

I picture you
Driving a Volkswagen on the Autobahn
Praying in a mosque in Indonesia
Walking through fields of tulips in the Netherlands
Exploring green hills of Cork
Nursing your son in Kenya
Shopping at the Mercado in Mexico

For a few quiet moments
Distance collapses
Minds meet
Your presence, a benediction
Poetry, prayer shared

  1. When I look at who is reading this blog, I am awestruck and fascinated by the nations represented. I can only imagine who you are, and what brings you to visit newspeaks. If you are so inclined, I'd really love to hear from you.

  2. i love that, "Running in heels to catch a cab in Singapore"

    you will be amazed at the amount of surcharges on top of the metered fare over here. :)

    nice going. a poem a day for a year. go for it, all the best! i don't think i can do that, maybe i will join up for a while along the way. i like the idea, using news headlines as prompts. i am doing NaPoWriMo 2011, and it is a great experience. :)
