Analysis of Joy
Unbridled impacts released
To bring some consciousness to bear,
Upon the space and time revealed
Kept here without a care.
We celebrate the years anew
Some here and others gone,
Attempts are made to conquer life
Yet we are all alone.
At birth, at death, where is our chance
To mingle in and tone,
Our hearts to perceive the ways of
Cornucopia’s cone!
c. by Lena Smith Carter--Poetic Universalisms I 2006.
