sleepy with quiet thoughts

Wonderful. You and Roethke (same):

A light song comes from the leaves.
A slow sigh says yes. And light sighs;
A low voice, summer-sad.

— Theodore Roethke, from section 5 of “Unfold! Unfold!” Words of the Wind: The Collected Verse of Theodore Roethke (Indiana University Press, 1964)

Hello I love this!
I wanted to share this post but something strange has changed on WordPress. Previously I could reblog you with no problem. Now it will not let me. Now it says I am not following you. When I try to refollow you it denies me access. Some rules chagned somewhere and I don’t know how to correct it. :( Douglas
