Psalm 81

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. - Thoreau

i had no tea

so i drink hot water with wild honey

i stirred innocence

and that was sweeter and more satisfying

than any pockets full of man's tainted money

Author's Note

"How to extract its honey from the flower of the world. That is my everyday business. I am as busy as a bee about it. I ramble over fields on that errand and am never so happy as when I feel myself heavy with honey and wax. I am like a bee searching the livelong day for the sweets of nature." - Thoreau

Reviews

[Sami Khalil]

I like pure, local honey; a cure for many things.
I'm going on a limb to suggest there ain't a cure for the blues in booz.
You are waxing philosophical

[Pete]

so much for the boston tea party, eh?!

[Sami Khalil]

So true and well articulated. Give unto Ceasar what is Caesars. Give unto poetry what is poetic
