We are a stream in an infinite dream: A poem 

Sometimes I feel I just can’t say:  

Is the source everything that takes up 

the eventual eternal stream in its realm? 

A dream whose end swirls into its beginning!  

How can I awake my soul all the way; 

when eternity is no close-up, and yet 

a snapshot so full-on that it breaks 

like a cloudburst every day. Is the universe such  

a prolific shutterbug that it has albums and albums  

devoted to our love. And should 

I feel that it is even more profuse than the   

breath of everyday sunlight that seems unabating. 

These sandparticles roll in the hourglass 

and each one forms a strand to a cord 

or a chord; and letters follow in place, 

words fall in place, ideas fall in place… 

What is a memory then, that brings 

so much imagination of hope?! Each 

lifetime turned over like sewing a cloth, 

and flipping it over to find the piercing needle 

Such is the state of my mind, that each 

thought is a bellwether for another 

whole set of thoughts. And then there  

is also, misfortune, this shamble to our love, 

 the profane edifice of disgust… 

That so many evil minds want to make  

capital of our love!
