i thank You God for most this amazing day
i thank You God for most this a-MAY-zing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
( i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any--lifted from the no
of all nothing--human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

loved each of your mosaics jan...they are so pretty and the ones with the birdies in the center :)
ReplyDeletei see the peonies look like mine here...soon, all too soon they will bloom and be a fading memory.
i so adore peonies.

The collages and poem are indeed aMAYzing! :) Happy May Day!
ReplyDeleteHi what a lovely muse.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like this part
'for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes'
It expresses how I have been feeling recently as I walk through our woods. It is lovely to see the trees unfold and uplifting but to be able to walk again without pain lifts my spirit constantly.
Great Collages of your flowers,
ReplyDeletelove the second one with the cute welcome post of blue birds.
HGMD!
Happy May Day To you!!! Beautiful blooms!!!!

Your photo montages are wonderful, Jan, as is the poem, one of my favourites. :) Leaping greenly spirits of trees... Sigh.
ReplyDeletePerfect. One of my very favourite poems, ever!
ReplyDeleteHappy May Day :)
Beautiful collages, Jan--a true feast for the eyes! I used an e e cummings poem last month, which is rather funny because I was never that fond of his poetry. But this is one I've never read before, and it's perfect for this beginning of May. I think I'm becoming a fan of his:)
ReplyDeleteJan,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and sweet!
Have a great weekend.
Cheers,
Cameron

It is true.
And yes it is hard to pick any to give to.
Thank you me friend for being a friend and visit my blog - for a few days I have felt that more and more people do not come back to my blog - maybe it is only because it is spring and everyone have a lot to do I don´t know - I only mean that YOUR comment made me extra happy!
Love,
