The Stretch Before Reaching
The stretch before reaching
Is kind of slow
You see a thing, you want a thing
You can’t let go
It’s within your grasp
It lingers so near
The question remains
Is it touch you fear?
Cause you never quite get it
It’s just not for you
You stretch just before reaching
What good does that do?
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
