Cosmologists have got it wrong.
Our universe is not expanding.
At least if viewed the usual way.
But how about instead we look
More carefully at what's nearby,
And realign our sense
Of the exceptional?
Take time to see the beauty in
Neglected, unregarded places.
The crumbling path beside the harbour mouth
Can offer, variously, with luck,
Dolphins, seals, and sunsets quite sublime.
And loss can even turn to gain.
With golfers forced to stay at home
The fairways are all yours to roam,
And taste the freedom of a new domain.

ReplyDeleteBertie lad, this is a pawfect example of carpe diem!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
You look beyond happy while you take time to explore, Bertie!
ReplyDeleteWe love your poem and you sure look happy to be romping on the golf course.
ReplyDeleteBertie what a beautiful poem
ReplyDelete"loss can even turn to gain"!! Bravo since all this loss to roam freely, we have surely gained
much rediscovery of things so close by.
I love how you have a skip in your gait. I'm quite fond of the lighthouse.
Hugs cecilia
We are defiantly appreciating all our small piece of earth has to offer.
ReplyDeleteSo many places nearby that we tend to neglect. Great advice and poem, Bertie. Though mind how you go on that crumbling wall.
ReplyDeleteWe had no thought of the golf courses being great place to romp. Good thinking
ReplyDeleteOh, you are one lucky puppers Bertie!!!! I wish I could find a golf course to run in! Preferably one owned by the orange one in the WH, so I can poop on it! heheheheee
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby ♥
Believe me Ruby, we have been contemplating a trip to the Trump International golf course, about ten miles north of here...
DeleteThank you Bertie, that's a very thought nice poem.
ReplyDeleteWe wondered if it might have been the Trump golf course that you were running across. If it had been, then I would have stopped to dig a nice big hole in the grass! He He!
Love,

We love the poem! So true, that as we are staying close to home, we get to examine everything a little closer. But we wish we lived close to a golf course, that looks like so much fun!!!
