Lines from Bob Marley:

> Where the living is hardest...

> They made their world so hard..

and lines from Yeats:

> The winds that awakened the stars are blowing through my blood.

> Now words that called up the lightning
Are hurtling through my heart.

recur in my mind the same sort of way. I still can't get the un-heart just-read poem lines to remain as exact as the often-heard performed-song lines though.

Posts got me thinking of poetry and my late arrival at an appreciation for it. I'm wondering if keeping lines from songs in your head, chewing and tasting them over and over, might work like poetry works for people that have a deep appreciation for it. Lines from #MaidQuiet^1 came to mind, search to verify them turned up an earlier version with #Hanrahan and #OurMotherOfPeace. ^2 Like the One Drop songs, the poems got simpler quieter??

is blowing through my blood"
