So glorious thou walked upon this path;
For once I knew when saw thy footsteps there;
When followed each, so taken me it hath
To far beyond such lands within my care.
What mysteries upon this land I see;
So curious thy fruit as here doth grow;
That first appeareth, here beneath some tree,
To change when I extend my hand to know.
So shall I follow once to see such things;
And yet again to see how these are grown;
And even more to see what harvest brings;
And stay to learn this bounty of my own.
When even as I reap what thou hast taught;
Yet still I study close what thou hast wrought.
- Reading Lady Day

Here are some I learned.

I feel most grateful to her as I do to other poets who fill my mind with ideas and inspire me in this way and otherwise.

Just now catching up here…been working away on things slowly but surely. And, my metaphor, goodness, if you figure them all out, what secrets shall I have?
I hope you and Mrs Emeron are well. Hugs to you both.
