While on a Sunday Walk in the Park: Beyond Comprehension   7/15/12

 

In a moment when everything is right

I slowly walk the circular walk

Wherever the eye turns

    Sights amaze

    People interest

    And dogs smile (as always)

A moment when All is One

 

Yet …  

 

How far will this moment extend

As the Wheel of Fortune turns

What will it count

When the inevitable occurs

 

Will it exist only as dim memory

Will it balance the crushing  losses that await

Will it be the crown or the foolscap

 

Three white birds break from foliage

Flying at speed, in loose formation

Angling, dipping, soaring

In and out of sight; on a mission

To a place where only Mystery will suffice.
