Ode to a Mess

 


 the lucky few

have the gift of a  powerful imagination

the mundane made sublime

no need to visit le louvre 

she wakes up to it every day

at the end of her bed

to the accompaniment of currawongs

and almost always a blue sky

beauty is in the eye of the beholder

we are surrounded by it

  4. I do like the sounds of the currawong, a bird I had never heard of before. May be mundane for some but sublime for others! And I love the idea of a "powerful imagination." So important these days.
