GENERATIONAL
CONTINUUM:
TO OUR CHILDREN
Before we were we, we were not-we, and so, you see, you
could not be.
Before we were we, we were two I’s: watching the world, looking for each other,
and waiting for you.
When we became we, we made you you: wee.
As you became eversomuch more you, not wee, you looked with
your I for another I
Looking for its own other I, to form a we.
I’s met, and I’s locked: whee!
I am we, as you are we, as they are we, and we are, after
all, together.
Nothingness to beingness,
Beingness to somethingness,
Oneness to we-ness to oneness.
So has it been, and so may it always be.
Awwwww.... Mark, you old curmudgeon!! This is AW-ESOME.
ReplyDeleteBut silliness and puns aside, I really love what you wrote in your last three posts - in preparation for the wedding, the crazy wedding day / micro storm story and this very cool poem. Congratulations! I can't wait to see the photos.
Sadly, I am missing the actual shows, because I am teaching on Tuesdays during the summer. But they sound wonderful from the playlists.
