Final Considerations (An Ode to Philosophy)

What object am I

That launched firmly in one direction

Looses no velocity

As a particle flung through space and time

Philosophy that life particle of mine

Launched in a single solid direction

Hurled with such great initial force

As to journey a perfect trajectory

Streaming in constant silence

A perfect perpetuum

With such tremendous onward motion

Gliding in harmony

With all of the consummate forces of this universe

And I

Such a part of this all

Dared to withhold this anxious force

Released

Hurled with unremitting force

She is irretrievably free

Lost as a lover consents another’s love

Yeah, the question of right and wrong

Drawls long before the inert

But I only ask

As time lays me near a dark space

To hear my most sacred words

Perficio

Well done, Eric

Well done.
