Twenty-Two Worries About Earth

July 17, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is being in one’s twenties.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A number poem about the oneness of all thought and experience:

Twenty-two worries about Earth,

Wondering what one small will might do.

Each inherits everything at birth,

Not able to untangle me from you.

There is a song so sweet that none can hear;

Yet could one hear it, one could never bear.

Take heart, then, for the whistler in Perth

Will serenade the piper in Peru.

One wish, one thought, one word is everywhere.
