Single Thoughts – No Talent For Certainty

Single Thought #23 – Poetry and Flowers

Poetry and flowers

Are similar in this:

Though each but one time seeing

Each leaves you with

A kiss

The deepest dive

Covers the least area

And yields uncertain joy —

Where some see
No place to rest
Others find

Room to soar

We want to pull
Beauty towards us,
But it always works

The other way around

You can plow deep,
Plant straight,
Water often,
And still

Live in uncertainty,

But,
That doesn’t mean

You shouldn’t try

The local ridge
Is not the highest mountain,
But what does it matter
When you’ve never climbed either?

If morality
Means anything,
It means that
We shouldn’t want to hurt others,
Or ourselves,
And should probably try

To do the opposite
