A granite cliff but
If we look closely,
Isn't --only a fallen tree.
What we see in
Adjusted distance, moss,
Mass, is black wood
Over grass,
To rotate from
Simple plane to
Lemniscate, and at
Its tip retain spheres
Of recent rain.
In neither garden
Nor brain can we
Find any better
Signs for infinity.
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou and Norma should publish a book of your poems with her photographs.
Most kind, Elizabeth. High praise from an accomplished writer. Right now my poems are mainly cathartic and insist upon freedom. Norma's photos are therapeutic --she wants to see as much as she can.
DeleteWhat a beautiful tiny lemniscate! Bernoulli would be pleased.
ReplyDeleteYes, I had to look it up :)
It's an elegant symbol, isn't it? But I imagine the jibes from other 17th c. math-nerds:"Hey Jakob, your '8' fell over!"
DeleteHah!
DeleteNo sign of granite nor greens yet for a couple of months, friend Geo ... but will show in time ... smiles ... Greetings from Alberta ... Love, cat.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cat. These thawing scenes from warmer climes are meant to be encouraging. Your greeting and affection from Alberta more than return the sentiment. Much appreciated!
DeleteLove how nature works. If we look closely, we'll always be amazed by the details.
ReplyDeleteLux, I believe you'll always be amazed by nature, and in love with the universe.
