Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is revolution in honor of Bastille Day, which falls on
July 14th.
Today’s poem is a number poem about
peaceful revolution through artistic and cultural change.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
The world is brought to beauty heart by heart.
How else might change take root but one by one?
Imagination is the proper tool,
Revealing what no doubt can overrule:
The wonder and the longing shaped by art.
Year by glacial year change will come.
For every game or story plays its part.
Over time, tiny shifts accrue
Until the old accommodates the new,
Returning, turning, till its day is done.
