"And this point of infinity"


Poem Artwork


Then and When and Now

We might not have been happy when
We thought so since we were
Posed to be as supposed but then
Supposed is never clear
So squinting unsurprised we see
Life squinting back a blur

And this point of infinity
Is what we know as here

So here we are half through the night
Half sleeping half awake
Our day half dark our night half light
And in this give and take
We end up getting only what we gave
And then we disappear without a trace
Except the dust of us at best a grave
Yet warm in someone's heart our smiling face

I believe we are happy then
At first and last and best
The sun will hatch a new day when
It nestles in the west

Then is the time for us to see
What when would not allow
And this point of infinity
Is what we know as now

Steven,
I just love the twists entwined within your titles & the body of your poetic scripts!! Your very good at reaching things like that.
I can't even explain it
The Title Says It All!

like this rhymer -almost playful rhymes through time, when and then and now, without buts and ifs and only one yet! Back to now can be a bumpy ride and this song sings sense along the way -thanks Steven :o)
