to sing





.

.

To sing is to begin a sentence
like "I want to get well.
I am not born for nothing
and neither are you:
Heaven never wept
over nothing."


~ Thomas Merton
from an untitled poem
thanks to whiskey river

Just saw your site for the first time. I love the poems you've selected. Your site is beautiful. I wish you had displayed the poems without making the lines centered, and left them the way they were written. Although I love reading old favorites and being introduced to new ones, I find I've been looking them up elsewhere so I can see how they were written on the page by the writer.
