  • An aching kind of music borne
    In deep rivers under cliffs of snow
    Sits rough and insistent on the chest.
    Wood bends, splinters, mulches and grows again
    While lives pass on as they have done.
    Something new is so very very old
    And has been passed through
    By many before.
    It is a well-troden path indeed.
    And so we plant our crafts
    Fly our oceans like kites
    In the strong breeze
    Carve and dig and turn
    Our marks more or less transitory.
    For our destination remains
    Forever out of reach
    And many ignore the long journey
    As it stretches on day by day
    And wind up nowhere
    At the setting of the sun.

  • Yep. Wrote that little ditty myself. Some evenings, I don't have the energy (or the interesting life) for a diary-type post, so I take a ew moments and write something more creative. I used to write a lit more poetry here... It's still in the archive somewhere... But you'd have to hit "Next 5" a lot of times
