Little boxes

Writing has me on the edge of a cliff
I look at the  gorgeous wilderness
How can THAT be put into words?
Words like little boxes , infinitely many,
How can the orange earth,the deep sky ,the palm trees
The  animals,   the bewildering birds and flowers
How can I convey this in these little boxes
“Having a great time,wish you were here
Weather’s fantastic,food .ditto
Did the cat turn up?
Can you give the big  teapot to James tomorrow?
Yeah,it’s nice here.Got lots of pics to show you.
Well,nearly time for our swim.See you soon.
How gravely the moon looks down on us
Like the eye of God.
Who sometimes winks.
How did He get here?
We are his metaphors.
Words convey by contrast,by opposition
I am myself but don’t create it.
I’m not used to this.
