Can you tell my mood?

[VictoriaWildsong]

Does this fit in here? I hope so.

There is this poem. Such a tender, while powerful, projection. Take a minute to read it, it's beautiful.
I often recall it and... this is my 'Thought for the Day'.

Have a great one, wherever you are.




I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud



by William Wordswoth
(English Romantic poet, 1770 – 1850)

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

Representation of the original manuscript

A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

[AluraMist]

This is so, so, true.

[KingNothing]

This is so, so, true.

100% true. A few nights ago I was just exhausted and decided to go to bed. I turned out the lights and it was still light outside. I looked at the clock and it was 8:12pm.

[Jonathan Greenflame]

This is so, so, true.

I can relate to that statement. Fifty years ago I could play all night, get an hours sleep and go to work the next day. Now it seems that I eat supper and I'm done for the rest of the night. I've trouble staying awake past the six o'clock news.
