As a Child I Walked - Handmade Greens on Indiemade

 

Several weekends ago, I was driving by a second hand book store that is run by the local library.  Those that know me well know that I am an avid reader - am often at my most happiest when reading a good book with Seamus snoozing by my side.  Since the bookstore was open, the Dog Mobile swerved into the parking lot and I walked into the store.  It didn’t take me long to find a stack of books that HAD to go home with me, an eclectic mixture to be sure.

One of the books I bought was a book of poetry by Jewel Kilcher (better known as just Jewel) called a night without armor.  Now I am familiar with Jewel as a singer and have several of her albums, including both Christmas collections (favorites due to her crystal clear voice).  But I didn’t realize she published poetry.  In the preface, she wrote, “ . . . not all poetry lends itself to music - some thoughts need to be sung only against the silence.”  I am totally struck by that idea.  The very first poem in the book is called As a Child I Walked, a collection of words that I love, especially the last stanza.  I have been reciting the poem all day today, loving the feel of it in the mind and across the tongue.  The poem became the inspiration for today’s post.

 

As a Child I Walked

 

As a child I walked

with noisy fingers

along the hemline

of so many meadows

back home

 

Green fabric

stretched out

  shy earth

      shock of sky

 

I’d sit on logs like pulpits

listen to the sermon

of sparrows

and find god in simplicity

there amongst the dandelion

and thorn

 

I hope you enjoy all the handmade green creations by my artisan friends.
