This is how I feel today...
I never saw a moor,
I never saw the sea,
Yet know I how the heather looks,
And what a wave must be.
I never spoke with God,
Nor visited in Heaven,
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the chart were given.
Emily Dickinson

Ughhhh! I have been sitting hear the last few minutes trying to understand what that poem is saying. Is it saying you know what you want to do but you don't have time to do it? I hope you have a great day.
I will try to explain this in an upcoming post. Poetry is subjective to me and can mean different things to different people. (Except some poetry that tells a specific story.) I had a English teacher in high school that asked an essay question in this manner on a test: In your opinion, what does the following poem mean? So I wrote in my answer and when I got the test back it had points marked off! She told me that I was wrong! I thought it was hilarious that she asked our opinion but it was wrong it it wasn't her opinion.
BTW, which candy posted the comment? I know who it sounds like to me but I am not sure!
