Numbers

There might be a million words
there might be a dozen systems of notation
(for words and music and numbers)
there might be a thousand stars in the sky
there could even be 12 trillion questions starting with the word "Why?"
and 51 birds flying in the same direction at five o'clock everyday
or 38 boats sailing in a bay on any day
yes!
there could possibly be an infinite number of floating dust particles or melting sharp icicles
dripping, dripping, dropping, as I type this...
but I don't care!
I'm still happy that love exists to let me know that I'm an individual, irreplaceable,
and I live in some loving hearts on this lonely earth as the only one of me

    for poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

    "Hear me, my chiefs!
    I am tired; my heart is
    sick and sad. From where
    the sun stands I will fight
    no more forever."

    This lack of interest in time really appealed to me. What do the numbers really mean? Imagine feeling as if you had lived for a million years.

    Imagine feeling like you could! :D

    Thanks for reading this DinghyDog. :)
