everything in Creation <br />is as holy as its Creator <br />how could it be otherwise? <br /> <br />the cow <br />has been the centre <br />of the Vedic culture <br />these last few thousand years <br />fed with love <br />and yielding milk and calves <br /> <br />and cowpatties <br />which when dried <br />provide the fuel which <br />the saints say is the best <br />for use as the domestic fire <br /> <br />of food it is said <br />the first part supports the body <br />and the second part the soul <br />while the third part falls <br />to support the earth <br /> <br />Wordsworth found immortality <br />amid the daffodils <br />but see here in the next field – <br />the cows are grazing as peacefully <br />as poets <br /> <br />poets who see the world <br />in awe and wonder <br />as the supreme machine <br />whose every part <br />is wholly of the whole <br /> <br />mind how you tread <br />this ground is holy<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0329-holy-shit-2/
