Poetry Solace: song of the open road

This week, it's yet another poem from Walt Whitman. Actually, it is a portion of a poem. Hope you will like it.

Song of the Open Road
(1)
Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.

Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune,
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need
   nothing,
Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms,
Strong and content I travel the open road.

The earth, that is sufficient,
I do not want the constellations any nearer,
I know they are very well where they are,
I know they suffice for those who belong to them.

(Still here I carry my old delicious burdens,
I carry them, men and women, I carry them with me
   wherever I go,
I swear it is impossible for me to get rid of them,
I am fill'd with them, and I will fill them in return.)



Have a great spring weekend! Have fun but be safe!

This week, it's two works by Paul Klee.. hope all of you will like it.. :)

Poem

Woe is me

Weighed down

By the hour

Returning

Alone

In the centre

The worm

Prowling

Down in the deep

~ 1913

Poem

I stand in full armour

I am not here

I stand in the depths

I stand far ...

I stand very far ...

I glow with the dead

~ 1914

Sunday Serenade: say something

For this week, let's have a slow and sad song by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera... Watch the music video, it's very touching.. Hope you enjoy it!

Say Something
Say something, I'm giving up on you.
I'll be the one, if you want me to.
Anywhere, I would've followed you.
Say something, I'm giving up on you.

And I am feeling so small.
It was over my head
I know nothing at all.

And I will stumble and fall.
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl.

Say something, I'm giving up on you.
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you.
Anywhere, I would've followed you.
Say something, I'm giving up on you.

And I will swallow my pride.
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye.

Say something, I'm giving up on you.
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you.
And anywhere, I would have followed you.
Oh-oh-oh-oh say something, I'm giving up on you.

Say something, I'm giving up on you.
Say something...






Have a great week ahead! Be productive and stay safe!
