Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is acceptance.
Today’s poem is a number poem about accepting even non-acceptance.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Forty-seven contemplates her fate,
Old enough to know just what is what,
Revisiting the windings of the way
That led her to this not-unwelcome state,
Yet yearning now and then for what is not.
Old enough to know just what is what,
Revisiting the windings of the way
That led her to this not-unwelcome state,
Yet yearning now and then for what is not.
So does one listen for the lilt of longing
Even when essentially at peace,
Vested in what one knows will decay,
Enduring, dreaming, suffering, desiring.
Nor would one for one’s soul such music cease.
Even when essentially at peace,
Vested in what one knows will decay,
Enduring, dreaming, suffering, desiring.
Nor would one for one’s soul such music cease.
