Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is visions of truth, or epiphanies, in honor of Epiphany, which is celebrated on January 6.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
A philosophical name poem for someone who has dropped out of the race for success:
Zachary lets go a long-held
longing
Amid his contemplation of the race.
Chastening a tide of heartfelt yearning,
He goes to some quite ordinary place.
As life unfolds, he dances through its shadow,
Redundant as a grain upon a meadow
Yielding to the wind across its face.
