Full circle

The day came bumbling along
when he found time
just to look across at Dad
and wonder if he noticed--
if he'd be there down the line,
when it was time
that he become a dad to wonder
at such sure magnificence,
that there would be another soul
t o pause...and look at him.

Twice in one generation,
thunder rumbling to be heard...
one kind of love
to be extinguished by the sun.
Unspoken.
Wondrous.

I like this. I need to think about circles these days, about birth and death and what lies between. As always I find comfort when I visit here.

One wonders if there is anything else....and while I am glad you find comfort, sometimes I am happier when readers become LESS comfortable, and the thinking process intensifies.
