The Truth Revealed
The touchstones of existence…
how many have you known
A common rock, a baby’s kiss,
a dog to walk you home
Can one then trump the other,
with importance or with worth
Can a seaside villa or Renoir painting,
outshine a child’s birth
The physicists solution, quantifying
parts and sums
Can all the gold inside Fort Knox,
rebuy what Mozart’s done
What seems to me important,
is to touch as many as you can
And let the truth reveal itself
—your soul to then befriend
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
