To Compose the 'Poem of All Poems'

Gaze up fondly at the sky
  Breathe deep... Sigh... Ask why

Plumb the depths of your heart
  Feel it shatter into myriad pieces... Cry

Ponder the secrets of the Universe
  Let wonder fill your soul... Immerse

Softly stroke the letters of your keyboard
  Pierce the darkness, gentle fingers... flaming swords

We write to satisfy ourselves -- sometimes the toughest critics to please. Peace, Gershon
