Darren White Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

INSPIRED BY White Wolf and his poetry and narrative.

Humbling Firmament

Between heaven and earth is so much more
You and I are for instance, but before
We were, there was and forever will be
The imprint of who will be you and me

Through closed eyelids rosy light glows warm
Swaying left and right in golden sundust swarm
My wheels so insignificantly leave prints in timeless
Everlasting sand, tossed in tides, boundless

In faraway blue green, a scaled-down ship
Moves motionless, on a never ending trip
And we, beneath a humbling firmament
See immense constellations with no end

We sit here silent, hand in hand meditating
How balance in this world, weighing
On us, harmonizes love and awe in us both
Reconciliation of life, we speak our silent oath

John Herlihy January 29, 2017 at 11:31 AM This works well, Darren. The opening stanza is stunning. Love "Move motionless on a never-ending trip", the story of my life as journey. In fact, after several readings, I have to confess: I wish I wrote this. JH Darren White January 29, 2017 at 11:39 AM John, thank you! This is a huge compliment :) That journey yes, it seems like standing still, doesn't it?
