by Robert Lloyd Jaffe
Children are like water
water that fights the
drain
but won't be contained.
Children fight sleep
and fight the wake-up
and, like water, fight
the drain
and won't be contained.
Like a rambunctious
Moon
who fights its wax,
and fights its wane.

ABOUT THE POET ~
I am an observer and listener of the music of life. Where I find cadence, I find my interest and passion directed. It can be sound, light, smell, or purely an experience of thought. The sky, the sea, the mountains, and the machines that allow me to explore those places draw my attention, and give me serenity.
