In praise of Gaia and her many manifestations. Songs for download, rants and rhapsodies on everything from music to metaphysics

a very short poem

A facebook friend asked the question:

I double dog dare you to write me a one stanza poem, limerick, or hiaku about missing someone you love.

Here is my answer:

empty arms hold a memory
if time is not a line but a blanket
then why does the past
not keep me warm?

On second reading, I thought it was rather good, so I’m posting it here for posterity.
