the preface to fate

from ‘Reflections’

 

‘and all, that has been by this day, is only the preface to fate’ *

 

*

as the sunset is like the sunrise

as late autumn is like early spring

as old people are like little children

 

so last love can remind very first one

 

between them there is day and night

between them there is lonesome winter

between them there is a long lifetime

 

in the dimension of hope

 

where everything’s now

and

 nothing at all is impossible -

 

between them there is fleeting flash

 full of faith in the dream -

expectation of marvel

 

that was so long-awaited

and yet

it has happened at last in your life

reminds me of our journey through life, all the happiness and difficulties we face. the goals and dreams having been realized brings us contentment and happiness.

I didn't see "The Hat". But I understand the poem. Beginnings are like endings...as life comes around in a circle...

[J. J. Nightingale]

You tell us much .. Hope is sought and found in each and every moment .. the weakest stillness .. the roaring thunder .. we grasp at life .. If we do it all right ..

Wonder-full ! .. Jazz
