Inexorable (Minor revision of a 2/99 poem) Like planetary movement Circumscribing its star Like the tectonic plate shift From the pressure built beneath it Forces are in motion that are far Beyond our control Attempts to conclude the destinies Here can be compared to Guessing the path of a photon Through shards of broken silvered glass Randomly fallen when the mirror's been broken But move on it flies as time Itself rolls on So too are we impelled If we have any mastery at all Of our course So too must we If we have any knowledge at all Of our passions Thus God, like the physicist Master of the cyclotron Guiding my photon destiny Master of the passion impelling This photon on its way Pursuing you, my heart's desire The cataclysmic conjunction Brings forth a fiery display Not seen since Krakatoa's peak Breached and was heard round the world ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

"But move on it flies as time Itself rolls on So too are we impelled If we have any mastery at all" "Thus God, like the physicist Master of the cyclotron" I second that WOW! Incredible imagery in this Wilfred ... I love the cosmic proportions of your comparisons in this piece, excellent!  Best wishes, /Kit |

Bill...What a great comparison...and your imagery is fantastic...especially liked... Guessing the path of a photon Through shards of broken silvered glass Randomly fallen when the mirror's been broken But move on it flies as time Itself rolls on So too are we impelled Wonderfully done! |
