People are Like Poems
People are like poems
Each made up
of lines and verse
Each year a stanza
Each moment the imagery
made real
by walking through the words
and witnessing the source
of naturally selected spontaneity
itself
Some are tuneful limericks
Others not as musical
but float freely nonetheless
Some are odysseys
that span the stars
and map our very reality
Others are as singular and commonplace
as the word
apple
Most
are lyrics
to the song
that sings us asleep
Where we are finally free
from the stream
From the unceasing flow
of quantum poetry
that makes up the code
of conscious thought
and the unbridled love
of light
in a dark place
.
