Cindy, I love this poem. It’s rich with meaning, and I look forward to reading it over and over again to hear what speaks to me at different times. Right now, I’ve focused on “Now I become myself” and “As thought shapes the shaper.”

“All fuses now,
falls into place
From wish to action…”

Thank you for another great poem, Cindy.

“Stand still, stand still, and stop the sun!”

Today was the perfect day for me to read this poem for the first time. It’s perfection!

Thanks for introducing me to it.

Hope all is well with you and your Mom.

Cindy, you have a knack for finding the perfect words as well as writing them.
I’ve heard of May Sarton, but not really taken the time to read much of her work. I am intrigued now as you can imagine.
This was just that kind of wonderful.
Thank you… again.

Cindy, thanks for reminding me about May Sarton. I haven’t read her work since college, and now I can see I must reintroduce myself – now that I can see exactly what she means.
