From Whence These Lines?

From Whence These Lines?

Submitted by: John Cornick

From Whence These Lines?<br /> <br /> This is the first time I have seen<br /> A slightly bare and colorful pair<br /> Go wildly past and hang out there<br /> And pulse away like a heartbeat rare<br /> <br /> It's not that we can't see the end<br /> Where things will end is oh so futile<br /> We can't it seems turn things around<br /> So think about that for a while<br /> <br /> It's not that we don't think it right<br /> Nor see the fault so plainly clear<br /> When we stand and be so counted<br /> We had better do it right next year<br /> <br /> I think it right that we should take<br /> A step towards a brighter star<br /> And then when ready hit the brakes<br /> For do we not see so afar<br /> <br /> These ramblings may thus end in chaos<br /> With not a shred of order found<br /> But thus say I who really cares<br /> In time it thus leaves me spellbound<br /> <br /> These lines just potted into my head<br /> And try as I might they make no sense<br /> From where they come I do not know<br /> These ramblings appearing so intense<br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br /> <br /> Some free wheeling rhyming lines that Just popped into my head so I jotted them down. Try as I might I can make no sense of their meaning. Maybe in time.   Submitted By: John Cornick
