Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is philosophy.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
A philosophical number poem about the desire of youth to escape into an open mind:
The sun was salmon on water;
We watched with blood-red eyes.
Each day dies in splendor;
Night blooms with boisterous friends.
Today we lied with silence;
Yesterday, with words.
For ourselves, we ask only
Open sea on which to think,
Unfastening points of worship,
Removing what seems firm.
