Always

Today's inspiration is a line from the poem "Sunset" by Louise Gluck.




And yet your voice reaches me always

I hear it always.

I heard it as a child, although I didn't 
know what to do with it.

I heard it as a teenager, so I wrote
it down a page.

For a long while it was quiet as I
pursued a different life.

But then it returned, and returned,
and returned.

Sometimes I think it is still
returning.

Coming up through the mud, rootless
yet grounded, a beautiful flower,
a strong symbol and sign
that life is always.
