Convergence
All that is
Converges on a single point
Where all that is known and imaginable
Exists in the experience and imagination
Of a single sentience
Converges on a single point
Where all that is known and imaginable
Exists in the experience and imagination
Of a single sentience
Earth alone
Is home to billions of such convergences
Leading to this gesture of humility:
How can I know this convergence of mine
Is the best of billions
Or even any good at all
All I know
Of the billions of others
Is at best learned conjecture
Even with the most intimate knowledge
Thus am I both creator and interpreter

Fleeting ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #98
The express train rumbles through
town after town
station after station
town after town
station after station
Fleeting moments
in the picture of India
forming in my mind
Instants
out of the corner of my eye
stopped in time
Unfocused
Blurred
Impressions
So I listen
Some days
There’s just not that much to look at
There’s just not that much to look at
So I listen
I can close my eyes
On any day
And just listen
But I prefer the fog
It is easier
To imagine in darkness
To create a world of light
In my mind
The beauty and insight I will never know
It is not the unknown
Which frightens me
But the stories I create
To comfort my ignorance
Which frightens me
But the stories I create
To comfort my ignorance
And so I forfeit
The beauty
And insight
I will never know
