Odd Numbers...

How  many in

a Crowded House,

how many in

a Mob in the Street,

how many mMedals

on one Chest but

how many lines written

on the Wailing Wall;

how many Tears

make up the Sea,

how many Tears

left on that Trail?,

have been told

there are

Tears of the Sun,

Lagrime Mundi,

has always

been another one
of my favorite one...

How many Grains of Sand

along the Beach,

how many billion Stars,

all out of reach,;

how many Waves

until this piece of coral,

bleached beyond white,

finds a home upon some mantle

in the warm Fire Light

and the sandy, salty whisper

becomes an Earthbound Delight,

a relic of a Moon-Lit Night,

when two were hands squeezed

in wonder at the Sight

of a Communal Awareness

that comes only from

Appreciation of the Other

and Loss of Self,

floating in the Entire...
