Poem Commentary

Merry belated Christmas and Happy unbelated New Year to all! This one is a spot rhetorical, and a lot spiritual. It was inspired by these mediocre holidays, lol. "Love who loves!"

Where Does the Time Go?





Where does a leaf go atop a blue sea?
Where does a sea go in the deep starlight?
Where does a star go amid a black sea?
Where does a life go in the vast sunlight?

Three of these I just never seem to know.
One is one that visits as a theory,
One is often like a meadow I know,
And one is almost like a memory.

Where do the infinities of leaves go?
Sometimes I almost know for an instant.
Where do the universes of dreams go?
Most times they are lost, forgotten, distant.

Yet one of the four is beyond the rest -
One of the four is that heartfelt something;
One of the four is that sanctified rest -
Though all are the One and ever loving.

Thank you! Not much gets by you, I see, lol! God bless.

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
