Thank you, thank you, thank you,
For welcoming an old Druid to this Temple,
For I know Old Druids are a nuisance.
Incoherent Muttering during Meditation.
Hanging around the bulletin board
cracking jokes about hazardous unlikely
exploits underground with The Dead.
Yeah. And This One’s from the Old Welsh
line. .. .. Fing Welsh Poet !! .. .. .. Peculiar
uncouth driven people, driven in from
Stonehenge Heath by stormy weather.
So thank you very much for harboring me
and giving me Spirit Space
to heal.
My recovery from last year’s struggle
continues well,
My old ghosts more settled and quieter,
and better fed on Kind Regard.
In a few weeks,
just a few Zen Meditation sessions,
That and the vast quantity of frequent
intense Chiropractic Treatments that
I’m also undergoing, beat-up some
by the unlikely hazardous poetizing
of last year,
And I’m feeling so much better.
It’s only January-2
and here I am already
pawing the dirt in new year’s Dharma Gate,
me plotting avenues of approach where,
apparently, soon this whole biosphere
will end or exit.
And so, most truly,
in these wild times of spiritual honor,
I Thank You For Your Trust.
