Today's Reflections
A ship sails, and I stand
Watching till she fades on the horizon
And someone at my side says
"She is Gone"
Gone where?
Gone from my sight, that is all
The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me
Not in her
She is just as large as when I saw her...
The diminished size, and total loss of sight
is in me,
Not in her
And just at the moment when someone at my side says
She is Gone
There are others who are watching her coming
And other voices take up the glad shout
"Here she Comes"!
And that is dying.
