To Sense the Rhythm

To find the words 

to sense the rhythm of life 

is to slip away 

from habits of a lifetime, 

to sway to new melodies 

in the moments 

of each passing year 

to sense the grace of our age.

“Sometimes when I am writing, 

I am aware of a rhythm, a dance, a fury, 

which is as yet empty of words.”

~ Stephen Spender, poet

(1919 ~ 1995)
