There are no barriers for a person with talent and love towards work.
—Ludwig van Beethoven
Everyone knows Beethoven
went deaf, could hardly hear
by the time he composed
the Moonlight Sonata.
I think of him sometimes
when I want to believe
in impossible things.
Like great harmony
born out of dead silence.
Like love in full bloom
despite drought.
Like finding a pocket in time.
Like hope, growing like mint.
Like poetry, blossoming in the dirt.
ahhhh … ! Exactly!!!
🙂
So sensitive! You tap into my sensibilities, and I particularly feel right about “like hope, growing like mint.”
Thank you, Carol … yeah, that hope is just like that.
