Poem : Naivete
The drop hung suspended On the edge of eternity For an instant- For an instant Time stood still And then it fell, A moist pearl, A glistening jewel, Dissolving into nothingness; In the blinking of an eye, nothing remained, As if nothing had been, Another shining star Another tiny drop Its journey now began To end in another naïve nothingness . ------ ---------- -------------- --------- * Pub 1995
