Irony

Lorna



The irony is

That as our accomplishments mount

So does their insignificance

Looking impartially

One can see them vaporize

No longer count

As Time dances

    Deeply philosophical this poem speaks of relativity in regard to knowledge and self view. We become quite small in the larger view of things. Nicely done

  • Poetic Licence

    We regard ourselves as much bigger and more important than we really are in the grand scheme of things , nicely expressed and written

    I'm lucky - lack of legacy won't worry me... only what I have now.

    Great to hear from you , Lorna.
