    Ode to Shirley

    Ode to Shirley

    Birds make their presence known, resolute in intent,

    We develop knowledge, with confidence in hand,

    Comfort arises with friendship.

     

    You have taken space, otherwise unfilled

    Calmness in your search, protective to control

    The unknown. The path of least resistance

    Is commonly taken. Alone you are not, as both are

    Searching.

     

    Validity is sought, creating unrest. Challenge

    What we want, will comfort outweigh?

    Easier it is, yet passion yearns. Can it be ignored?

    Onward we must go, ever knowing!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
