I DO WONDER

Well I've had to come off flumpbook again - at least for the time being. I can't really go into the reason why. I went back there because isolation felt like exactly the time to be 'around the campfire' - just like in 2007 actually, when it was a new thing for everyone, and a fun way to keep in contact.

But campfires need good maintenance, and sensible people - otherwise it's only a matter of time before we all start pushing each other into the flames. I want no part of that. And it certainly is getting flamey out there. I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Anyway. I wrote a poem for a flumpbook group, and forgot to put it up here as well. Someone commented and said it was peaceful and thoughtful, and ideal for times like these. So, here it is. It's only short. Enjoy. 

I Do Wonder

I do wonder,

Said the ocean to the stars,

Which of us deeper

In this universe of ours?

Is it you in all your glory

Shining bright above the sea?

Or with dark and brooding passion

Oh I wonder, is it me?

I do wonder,

Said the stars in soft reply,

Which of us higher

In the chasm of the sky?

Is it you with endless waters

Stretching wild across the sea?

Or with melodies of angels

In the heavens, is it me?

I do wonder,

Said the Maker from above 

I span the stars with silver

And I fashioned you with love

As the waters came together

And the stars first lit the sea

I was always doing wonder

And the wonder I will be
