What Will Your Verse Be?

"O me, O life of the questions of these recurring. 
Of the endless trains of the faithless.  
Of cities filled with the foolish.
What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer: that you are here.
That life exists and identity.
That the powerful play goes on,
and you may contribute a verse.

What will your verse be."

Attributed to Walt Whitman in Zen Camera





A young family of four enjoying the winter day at
Cape Lookout State Park creek and beach.
What verses will they contribute to the living poem
of just two generations?
Telephoto intimacy.
