-- Making Ends Meet --

by John Herlihy

,

Making ends meet,

What a miraculous feat.

The tides ebb and flow,

Winds at rest, then blow.

Rope ends tied in a knot,

Forget me, forget me not.

Hunger felt as despair,

Fulfillment felt as prayer.

The two ends of the day,

Meet the two ends of the night.

The end of time a mystery,

The absence of time an eternity.

The ends of time come together,

The circle of eternity linked forever.

This wasn't what I was expecting at all. I confess the title had me expecting something grave at best and dire at worst about a financial crisis. I was pleasantly surprised to read something lighter and much more pleasant. Even playful. Your choice of graphic was perfect for this poem.

This was both a fun and arresting read. You often poeticize various elements as one or coming together. This was an interesting play on the phrase "Making Ends Meet". Write on.
