I try to read Garrison Keiler's Writer's Almanac every day. There is always a great poem and then some interesting historical information. I really liked today's poem so I thought I would share it with y'all...
I carry your heart with me
by E. E. Cummings
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go, my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)
What a beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite poems. So good to see it again ... like an old friend.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI recently discovered this poem, as part of it was used in a movie. Of course, I cannot recall which movie, but I thought it was lovely then. It is lovelier now when read in its entirity.
Another question, How did Polka Dot Hippo find me? I love the name of this blog, by the way!
Have a lovely fallish kind of day!
Becky
I wondered if it was by way of K! Nice to meet you as well!
ReplyDeleteWe included this poem at our wedding! Love it!
