the sun smiled and the shadows smiled back <br />the space in between smiled to be seen <br />and I too smiled as I looked at the scene; <br /> <br />yes a little dog barked and a baby cried <br />if I said that I knew I would know that's a lie <br />and if I said to myself that I could not possibly know; <br /> <br />the Earth would stop turning, its turning would end <br />and all love would be vanquished and no longer flow <br />because we cannot deny what is beyond what we know?<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dogs-bark-babies-cry/
