#1445 - a life consists of many worlds

a life consists of many worlds

 

ones given, left

the ones we’ve made

 

artists’ impressions

 

ache until over

 

even in the one book

 

this day

and just a moment

 

world in which forgive forget

world from which we’re gone

 

for the record

 

nothing in life was ever quite round

 

here’s the imperfection of all things

 

always another colour to come

 

call drift

but somewhere else is home

where you’ll remember

 

worlds previously pictured, wished

worlds you’d wish away

 

at last the something ran as if

and to believe

 

a world of all these lives

sincerely

or by trick of whim

 

we who have heard the music

must scratch this all down here
