Reflections without Mirrors - Feb. 19, 2024

we get up for a sun sighting

stay busy as it crosses the sky

sit still for a sunset

except it’s a turning world

a ball rolling around the sun that

fools the billions spinning with it

strange isn’t it?  

To purchase something

yet not buy anything at all

kind of like how we step back in time

as we roll forward    live today

and back then   at the same time

with mind the traveler

memory the time machine

and feelings familiar creatures

we sleep away the night’s hours

and dream of something long ago

past connects to the present right?

but what about those planets

and beasts and people

I swear I’ve never seen before
