Bond and Free

Bond and Free (1916)
By Robert Frost

Love has earth to which she clings

With hills and circling arms about—

Wall within wall to shut fear out.

But Thought has need of no such things,

For Thought has a pair of dauntless wings.

On snow and sand and turf, I see

Where Love has left a printed trace

With straining in the world's embrace.

And such is Love and glad to be.

But Thought has shaken his ankles free.

Thought cleaves the interstellar gloom

And sits in Sirius' disc all night,

Till day makes him retrace his flight,

With smell of burning on every plume,

Back past the sun to an earthly room.

His gains in heaven are what they are.

Yet some say Love by being thrall

And simply staying possesses all

In several beauty that Thought fares far

To find fused in another star.

Hello there. :} You may notice something different about this poem, and you're right! It is not written by me this time!
School is starting soon for me, and that provides a minor problem. I am dedicated not only to writing, but also practicing instruments, dancing, drawing, and school work in general. In short, it would be very difficult to balance everything! ^_^|
So I pondered for a little while, and I thought that maybe I could do something where I alternate poems that have been written by other people, and my own poems. That way I can still be posting and sharing poetry, and showing people the magic and emotion behind words. I will still look into the poems I post though, because I want the writings to both be relatable to me and the reader. :}
Anyhow, I hope you have a lovely day or night, and stay safe out there. Sweet dreams. <3

Thanks for readin'!

Love, Stardusttoad

Also happy birthday Jungkook! :D

Keep being you <3
