Reflections
As I look upon the vastness of history;
the breadth, the depth of it,
I am forced to look at
myself
and wonder
how and where and why
do I fit in?
2.
This one's for you.
Throw a pebble
into the vast ocean
and it joins
all the other pebbles
ever thrown in.
3.
And I wonder.
Breathe a sigh
Just a warm, quiet sigh
Or perhaps heave a loud heavy one.
Let your breath
And all the sadness,
hopes dashed,
loves lost,
it carries
join
all the rest of the sighs
ever breathed.
And perhaps, just perhaps, you'll find
A measure of peace.
4.
About the romantic in me?
Lie with me
here
now
together.
under the starlit sky
under the same velvet blanket,
the same glorious fresco,
the same
mystery,
that wishers, and hopers
wisemen, and thinkers
fools, and dreamers
lovers, and the ones they love, had loved, and always
loved,
of all time
had lay under
and wondered.
Lie with me.
For aught that I could ever read, could ever hear by tale or history, the course of true love never did run smooth.
William Shakespeare, "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
