Shadows upon the road
Taken memories
Cast against sky azure
Peering upon the sundial
Moving micro minutes
Direction is a circle
Our lives are choices made
Consequences enclosed
Upon destiny’s arc.

I love your poetry, that’s all I want to say, love it.
Thank you Jan. You have me blushing with you kindness. It is truly wonderful to have a fan. Thank you. ?
Wonderful, poetic and meaningful.
Thank you kindly. It is meaningful to hear that you read it that way too.
The poetic concision is profoundly ethical: ‘choices enclosing consequences’ entwines act and outcome. Reminds me of St. Augustine, who wrote: “truth is what you do.”
You bring a great smile to my face, John. You’re very much in my mind. I love the concision and intellectual poignancy of St Augustine’s plain language. Many good reasons why he’s a Saint. ?
