| near and far |
this is a place of many two-things,
of near and far in equilibrium.
like the islands that bisect the view,
thoughts here seem closely paired.
the near view is a choreograph of black and white,
of eagles and seals, of spume and sail.
our near tomorrows are such a passing procession
of comings and goings, of obligations and opportunities.
the far view is washed with grey
the peaks and the valleys, the forest and the mainland.
our far yesterdays are such shrouded horizons
of actions and achievements, of perspectives and perceptions.
we are ever so engaged, but seldom aware,
that each moment bisects the near and far. |
