'Clear Thinking' by Richard Price, www.richardprice.nl

In a small back room or cloistered cell

recalling things we know so well

our minds a store of cascading scenes

a glorious kaleidoscope of inner dreams.

*

In country now mid-grove of trees

breathe delicate aroma of scented breeze

beneath my feet the good rich earth

enchanted by choir of wind and birds.

*

Oft' in the darkness of the night

with wonderful eye of inner sight

strolling again remembered places

kiss and caressing familiar faces.

*

Stored personal images we thus renew

uplifting spirit with treasured views

so may people where'er we be,

blessed with our own humanity.
