EVER STRANGE IS THE WORLD, by                    
First Line: Though I travel the same road twice
Last Line: With all I know.
Subject(s): Change


Though I travel the same road twice,
meet and remeet old friends,
listen to the wind by the same aged trees,
feel the warmth of rekindled love
from the givers of love,
I know these are not known by me.

Know I my father who never knew me,
know I my mother who bore me,
know I my brother of equal flesh?

Know I my wife
with whom I cherish
the hours of both day and night?

Know I these strange beings
among these strange things
in this ever strange world?

Each and all
grafted one upon the other,
yet strange to each other
as the north star is to the southern cross.

Each day dawns strangeness to each and all;
each day, I
the stranger,
become acquainted again
with all I know.
