Psalm 81

A Poem by Pete
"

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. - Thoreau

"
Cain Architectural Art GlassWild Honey ...

i had no tea
so i drink hot water with wild honey

i stirred innocence
and that was sweeter and more satisfying
than any pockets full of man's tainted money

Author's Note

Pete
"How to extract its honey from the flower of the world. That is my everyday business. I am as busy as a bee about it. I ramble over fields on that errand and am never so happy as when I feel myself heavy with honey and wax. I am like a bee searching the livelong day for the sweets of nature." - Thoreau
