Poem of the Day




The Meaning of Existence

Everything except language
knows the meaning of existence. 

Trees, planets, rivers, time
know nothing else. They express it 
moment by moment as the universe. 
Even this fool of a body
lives it in part, and would 
have full dignity within it 
but for the ignorant freedom 
of my talking mind.
