I was Made Erec…

I was Made Erect and Lone……

Henry David Thoreau

I was Made Erect and Lone

I was made erect and lone,
And within me is the bone;
Still my vision will be clear,
Still my life will not be drear,
To the center all is near.
Where I sit there is my throne.
If age choose to sit apart,
If age choose, give me the start,
Take the sap and leave the heart. 

Henry David Thoreau
 
This is one for me lately……what poem suits you? 
Happy Wordy Wednesday and be kind!

One thought on “I was Made Erec…

  1. I like this, though I’m still trying to live it more often …………… “When you think things are bad, when you feel sour and blue, when you start to get mad, you should do what I do! Just tell yourself, Duckie, you’re really quite lucky! Some people are much more, oh, ever so much more, oh, muchly much-much more unlucky than you!”
