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.
