Poem
And Maybe…….. ( for my Daughter Kether ) “And maybe” she said so vehemently “And maybe these things just aren’t meant to be” Her eyes so wild in her need so strong to verbalize a phantom thought “And maybe dreams are just counterfeit “And God and everything else “And you wish and you wish for something else “But what is there, "Is there any proof of anything else ?” “You think about stars and time and visions “And all these flaming useless things “And you are so busy looking for something else “That you miss the point “You miss your life “And maybe, just maybe there is nothing else “And this is all we have She said and looked at me Questioning those possibilities Hoping I could see What she meant “And maybe between finger tip and lip “And maybe between each other “Our discourse and concourse of living together “And maybe in honesty and strength “To be courageous and alive, is all we have “No matter what the realities “Or the circling stars and the mind bending Galaxies “What do you know ? “And your life is all you know “And the rest is just the rest, just theory “Its not like the telephone, a dream which became a reality “No, its just an abstraction “But the truth speak to me clearly “It speaks to me through the ends of my finger tips “Through my lips "I'll look for my answers and my dreams "Inside these “It tells me through my heart and my eyes “It urges me through my wants and desires “What point is there in any dream “When living and life itself can be so fulfilling “What point is there in believing in God “If you cannot live your life, whatever your life is, without fear “And maybe, just maybe “This is all there is And then she sat back and nodded to herself As she saw her own point for her become clear she looked at me and her look said "don't you see there isn't anything else" ( Twenty years old and already so full of wisdom, my daughter and everyone who meets her; and everyone who knows her has to admit that there is something uncanny in the way she looks in your eyes as if she is seeing the whole world )
