Thirty-Six Knows Well by Now His Goal

January 11, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Insight and Revelation, in honor of Epiphany, which was celebrated on January 6.

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

A philosophical number poem about a budding writer who is not yet ready to turn his insights into art:

Thirty-six knows well by now his goal.

He follows in his head his untold story.

Intent on excellence, he'd like to hone

Recurring insights into polished stone,

Turning wisdom into lasting beauty.

Yet not yet has he refined his role.

Sunlight gilding his intended duty,

In quiet ecstasy he walks alone,

Xeroxing the thoughts that move his soul.
