You are here
I learned today that a laser burst
travels forever. Aim your laser
at the moon, eight seconds later
the light arrives, bounces off
goes in a new direction. This is
the continuance, energy
once emitted, lasts forever.
On a fine edge of logic, I also
learned today that two mirrors
reflecting upon one another reach
infinity. Perhaps this is the definition
of love, one soul facing another
soul, the laser light bouncing from one
to another, merging into patterns.
My friend tells me to embrace old age.
She speaks of the honesty and appreciation
of unhurried lust. She tells me to
find beauty in the textures. Perhaps
that is why we must age. Perhaps
peace is looking back upon the years
finding happiness in the moments left.
