Is this any old rubbish flung by someone round here?
Or was it all whipped along in the air
by the wind…
caught by chance on the wire?
Or has each thing been placed here with considerable care…
turned now into something quite precious…
…called art?

Wood: I could be your lady

wood:I could be your lady

In its past this aching lovely tree

Was pruned with heavy hands

And left with its weeping wounds to heal alone

Growing useful, monstrous, silent scars, accepted

As a kind of beauty on its own!

But, if you look close……

You’ll see just one scar still crying

Open there among the rest.

The lady sits there still in waiting, ready

To be shaped in new shades of beauty

By a gentle Sculptor’s pair of hands!

Message from Ground Control: Rearrangement of nova to supernova ‘…..the expanding shock waves from supernova explosions can trigger the formation of new stars….'(says wikipedia)….. Ok! The kids rearranged the crib again! Come Twelfth Night, crib is in box. Everything’s OK!
