catching something big

Posted on July 20, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

if I write of ants
or the movements of the earth
or even a dance of planets
I can only guess at

if I write of you
of how one touch
flowers me

or if I write
of deeper love
than this new one;
finely woven
tenderly & impersonally
through all matter

those strings theoretically
binding together singularity
into wholeness,
threads that still shiver
pan-dimensional ripples
from that creation cry

but these do
speak-sing to one knowing

too big to catch at once
in my ordinary net

so I see it only
in flashes

under water

& escaping

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    The poet manages to transmit the ripples and shivers the subject of this poem feels to even us the readers! Pan-dimensional ripples – now that is strong and beautiful!
