"I would like to do new wonders all my days / My life ever new to sing new songs for you"
Transcendental Sonnet #1325: New Songs
Here in this thick darkness word has reached me that Out there in the sunshine people care for me Hanging upside down like a cave-dwelling bat What goes on outside is hard for me to see
Life goes on or so they say live for today Yesterday is lost tomorrow may not come Reality sounds good to me anyway I have had more than enough of fantasy If anyone will share real love I want some
I am not bad-looking if no longer young My curiosity inspires me always To find such new songs as have not yet been sung I would like to do new wonders all my days My life ever new to sing new songs for you
This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.
