what did I know





what did I know
of longing
how it bends every atom

makes the impossible perceptible

This is so powerful and it took me to the words of Henry lawson momentarily

THEY SAY that I never have written of love,
As a writer of songs should do;
They say that I never could touch the strings
With a touch that is firm and true;
They say I know nothing of women and men
In the fields where Love's roses grow,
And they say I must write with a halting pen—
Do you think that I do not know?

I know in a different context but poetry in my view grabs one in the first three lines ar not at all yours held me from the starting phrase

it nostalgia shines from there
well done rgds Michael
