While the waves softly thundered, <br />And the darkening sky revealed its wonder, <br />My thoughts grew feathers and took flight. <br />But I was weary and the hour was late, <br />And the winds were growing cooler within the night. <br />But for an enlightened moment, I did hesitate - <br />For the moonlight on the water was a ghostly trail, <br />And it seemed if I were to follow, I might into heaven sail, <br />Or plunge over the edge of earth and into hell... <br />And I knew that this is what the mind most contemplates.<br /><br />Jonathan Platt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-moment-s-contemplation/
