Anthem


Cyclic evolution, done
And begun again:
What will be --future
And history-- at a
World's edge, this
Prospect and ledge,
After work in mass
And energy must
Pass now down a
Cypress path to the sea,
Relearn its name and
Return the way it came.

  1. And this too shall pass. You must be telling me that good things are a-comin'.

    1. I hope so. Maybe the principle of evolution returns to the sea to consult the voices of stars.

  2. What goes around comes around. Life's like that.

    1. Life --and learning-- is certainly like that, Lux. Good thing too!

  3. Hope this was not precipitated by despair over the upcoming election, Geo. But, then again, it's good to remember that there are forces bigger than any human, isn't it?

    1. Despair? No, well not so far anyway. There ARE tremendous forces to discover and study --despair would just slow me down.

  4. I love cycles, so reassuring (in the long-run). Though a straight line might be giving more energy. Thank you for a beautiful drawing and a beautiful poem.

  5. Sounds like everything old is new again which is really the way of the world when you consider it.
    Beautiful sketch.
