The Dash

I am the dash of life
Here, a moment
Gone, the next
Everything ever thought
Said, done, or left undone
Exist in my stroke
Nothing can be added on
Nothing can be removed
I am the dash of life
The here and now
And then the mark
Etched between birth
And death

Reviewed on March 21, 2007
Aye, amazing when we get right down to it that indeed our lives could be summed up in that one little hyphen - parenthesis even - if we add a hyphen at the other end.

'I am the dash of life'

I had to smile at this pithy clause, especially in the light of what Jesus said, 'I am the bread of life'
Sharon Jordan declares - sounding almost sardonic - that she is, not was, but is the 'dash of life.' Infinite meets finite.

Very pithy line, very pithy. As Wilde once said, 'I wish I had said that.' You will, Dai, you will!

Dai

An outstanding poetic-philosophic... "The Dash" is a glowing wise leaf of the poetic tree.

In admiration,

Otherwise called, cutting the dash.
Birth and life may be the real opposites..
