others may have wine, i have poetry

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

sand

The cool waves wet the sand
The sand glistens
The harsh sun dries the sand
The sand glistens
People walk all over the sand
The sand glistens

They take sand and make it into glass
The glass still glistens...
