All readers need to realize at this time, that I am new to this, and the poems I am putting on are not formatted as she wrote them. This will take me a little time to learn the tricks of this site.
We live
In
Shallows,
Longing for Depths
Of
Beauty
Knowledge
Love
Faith -
And
When we drift too near
Those deeper recesses
Mundanely thrusts us
Up again
With a jangling clock
Or
Infant's cry
Or
Dripping faucet,
And
We rise
To
Shallow again
To
Deal with banality -
Like a potato chip crumb
In
Champagne.
~ Sandie Angel a.k.a. May Lu ~
