Something is There (a love poem to the many)


There is a certain something I cannot explain.
Sometimes it’s a chord in a Beethoven symphony
which moves me emotionally.

Standing alone at the Grand Canyon’s edge,
there is a magnetic majesty which permeates
my entire being.

Frequently, I have a tendency to suckle words,
to extract the nectar of purposeful meaning
relevant to me.

Or could be merely a look, that feeling I perceive
as your eyes meet mine suddenly for the first time.
I am held breathless.

And beyond mere words to explain, The Milky
Way stretches its brilliant band of light across the
darkness of night.
