Take Care Chitownfreak25, Happy St. Paddy's Day! The Irish Love Poetry!

Howdy Howdy all! Now I know you were all looking for vacation entry 3 but that has been put on hold for a St. Patricks Day Salute. so without further ado.....HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY!  I will not be going out for a drink but will instead will tie one on at home with the roomies and the bestest bud the Cocoa Goddes. I hope you all are having a great day and please keep ChitownFreak25 in your thoughts and prayers.  I cant begin to know what she must have gone through but I do know that feeling alone is no small thing. Please reach out to someone, anyone if you feel like you are sinking. We are a bit of a family here on Mindsay and we should help one another when we can. How about some poetry...here goes....

This poem is by one of my absolute favorite writers, His post-modernist writings are so compelling that they speak to a whole other self. This poem was originally written in German and later translated.

 

Neither

to and fro in shadow from inner to outer shadow

from impenetrable self to impenetrable unself
by way of neither

as between two lit refuges whose doors once
neared gently close, once away turned from
gently part again

beckoned back and forth and turned away

heedless of the way, intent on the one gleam
or the other

unheard footfalls only sound

till at last halt for good, absent for good
from self and other

then no sound

then gently light unfading on that unheeded
neither

unspeakable home--Samuel Beckett

 

Goddess Bless
