Previous post: Few have seen the Forest Guardian and lived to tell the tale
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

Thanks, Gerard– I think we all needed reminders of the goodness that is still out there.
As long as there is still goodness in you—as far as the rest of the world is concerned—there will still be goodness out there.
…didn’t make it.
Thank you so much, Gerard. This kind of news is
just what I need.
What a treasure trove awaits those who comment on this post!
Love your poem and all else in its company.
Far more good going on in this world,,, then bad. Life is what we make it. How we live it.
I needed this reminder that most people are good. Thanks!
Always remember: There are More of US than there are of them.
Speaking of people who’ve done good things, Charlie Watts, one of the original Rolling Stones died today, age 80. You changed my world. Rocking into his 80th birthday. How cool is that
