Paddy's Poetry Corner - Every Living Moment

Groovy man, the Corner has been hanging in ye olde blog for a year. I dig poetry in all its flavors. I read and write poetry whenever I get the chance. For you regulars, your table is ready, for new guests, there is plenty of room, have a seat, enjoy a cocktail. Berets are welcome but not necessary. However, get the fingers snapping, the bongo has started up and the spotlight is shining on the stool.. I'll take a seat..

Every Living Moment


In every breath
there is a poem.
In every heartbeat,
a pounding song.

In every sleepless night
and daydream day--
in the distant minute
and instant years--
within every living moment--
there is solid ground.

The river, the conscious river,
flows through every breath,
a poem. Through every heartbeat,
a song. Through every life
there is a vision,
an original thought
rediscovering the past,
glimpsing the future.

And in the end
of a thoughtless beginning,
beyond all imagination,
life promises hope.

Let's go down to O’Neills on Suffolk Street and recites some Yeats over a pint of Guinness. If Leopold Bloom shows up we can boot him out.
