(close to you)
sitting up in bed,
i sketch the dreams
you keep from me.
the things you refuse
to share.
you know,
you smile
most those moments
when your sleep is deepest.
(furthest from me) there,
beside me.
those moments,
(close to you)
i am
most alone.
When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
