Poetry Thursday

Along the Rio Grande

And Joy is Everywhere;
It is in the Earth's green covering of grass;
In the blue serenity of the Sky;
In the reckless exuberance of Spring;
In the severe abstinence of gray Winter;
In the Living flesh that animates our bodily frame;
In the perfect poise of the Human figure, noble and upright;
In Living;
In the exercise of all our powers;
In the acquisition of Knowledge;
in fighting evils...
Joy is there Everywhere.

~ Rabindranath Tagore

Picture me, like a baby Natalie Wood, saying over and over again: 

I believe, I believe, it's silly but I believe

At least I am trying to believe.
