It’s only these last couple of years that I’ve begun to appreciate Poetry and that has been mainly through my time with, The London Buddhist Centre in East London, where there’s a high regard and encouragement for the Arts as an important factor in human wellbeing.

I love the ability of good Poetry to connect with my emotions and often to say so much with so few words and of course poetry and imagery make good companions.

From time to time I’ll post Poems that have touched me for a variety of reasons.

And the day came

when the risk

to remain in a tight bud

was more painful

than the risk it took

to blossom
