Ontogenesis

Now I must ponder your meaning The coming of a smile is like a ship Sometimes it is swallowed by the horizon But you have this thought on your lip And my heart was a sail before Carrying me where I did not want to go But you keep coming and coming And I can no longer pant softly nor slow It is the sweet beginning beginning sweet But why me, all my castles fell like sand My dream is just a crumpled sheet And evening curled up like a flower in my hand.

L'Nass, it has been some years since I have been here. You are so blessed with making words come alive. I love this poem. "my heart was a sail before Carrying me where I did not want to go" is very meaningful for me right now. This just shows the helplessness of man's destiny.
