The most splendid

Since I was a small child I've felt that little inaminate things were very wise, that they had their own kind of wisdom, something to teach me if I would only pay the right kind of attention to them.... I don't look at anything as being insignificant. I that's another overlooked gift of poetry. Many times people imagine that poets wait fro some splendid experience to overttake them, but I think the tiniest moments are the most splendid.
