PASSING MATTERS <br /> <br /> <br />LOVE … is a passing matter; <br />others passed this way before, <br />passing passion and delight, <br />passing moments of despair, <br />passing ‘round the curve of time <br />to find, <br />life’s passing matters matter not. <br /> <br /> <br />THOUGHT… is a passing matter; <br />passing passersby unseen, <br />I pass in crowded Solitude, <br />knowing as I pass alone, <br />ALL pass alone, together, <br />alone arriving at the thought, <br />Life’s passing matters not. <br /> <br /> <br />LIFE … is a passing matter; <br />all are merely passersby, <br />passing to a bend in time, <br />where passing matters, <br />that passing mattered so, <br />will matter (not) again <br />to passing passersby. <br /> <br /> <br />… passing Life in Thought, I see, <br />LOVE’s passing mattered most … <br />… to me … <br /> <br />~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <br />Rhey W.
