Wood

Waiting

I gave up
the waiting
and something
emerged
from the silence
of wood

Well?

Well-being
A sense of wellbeing
An enormous sense of wellbeing
Well?

The voices
Some have been here for a long time
Some are new
Some are loud, bullish, pushing through
Some are just….

It helps.
I don’t like to ask so I don’t. It just does.
The Dog runs. Sometimes.
Towards and away.
Throw the stick.
A stick every day keeps the dog at bay.

Standard Elephants.

I Keep six honest serving-men:
(They taught me all I knew)
Their names are What and Where and When
And How and Why and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
I send them east and west;
But after they have worked for me,
I give them all a rest.

I let them rest from nine till five.
For I am busy then,
As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,
For they are hungry men:
But different folk have different views:
I know a person small–
She keeps ten million serving-men,
Who get no rest at all!
She sends ’em abroad on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes–
One million Hows, two million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!
