Life that never was
I see you an old woman
I hear your trembling voice
A faint, illusive vision,
A life that never was.
I turn your palm toward me
The lines that run across
Do tell a tender story,
A life that never was.
So much that I desired
Has never felt so close,
We met, we wed, retired,
A life that never was.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
