Beautiful Words and Lovely Skies 2

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Marcel Proust

/\ Namaste

I ran across the line by Proust earlier this evening and then I happened to find a collection of poems by my very dear and well loved friend, Maithri, whom many of you know as well. He has brought so much joy into my life through his blog and his writings and I wanted to share this one with you.

Pick Up Your Pen
Maithri Goonetilleke

When the darkness falls
And you're just barely clinging
to a single,
rapidly unraveling thread
on life's frayed garment.

Pick up your pen
And in the broadest,
boldest strokes
you can manage

Write the name of love
across the sky
