Here's your Daily Poem from the Poetry Chaikhana --

 

Fluent

By John O'Donohue
(1956 - 2008)

 

I would love to live
Like a river flows,
Carried by the surprise
Of its own unfolding.

Thought for the Day:

Let every action
be a perfect stillness
in the heart.

The note I send out with each poem email usually, though not always, includes a bit about the poet's life. But did you know that if you receive HTML formatted emails, you can click on the poet's name at the top of the email to open a page in your browser with more about the poet and links to more poems? I sometimes forget that many people only know about these emails, but the Poetry Chaikhana also has an extensive website with hundreds of poets, thousands of poems, timelines, poetry themes... When you start exploring you never know what you'll discover!
