Searching for Moons and Request: goals
May. 29th, 2012 02:10 pmI have been participating in a group working on goal-setting and would like to give them a parting gift. I'm looking for poems about goals: setting them, reaching them, reframing them, etc. Positive, natch, but also about the work spent to reach a goal.
Please, thank you, and here:
Searching for Moons
--Carol Ann Duffy
There is something to be said but I, for one,
forget. That star went out more years ago
than we can count. Its ghosts see dinosaurs.
The brain says No to the Universe, Prove it,
but the heart is susceptible, pining for a look,
a kind word. Some are brought to their knees,
pleading in dead language at a deaf ear. Spaceships
float in nothing in the dark, searching for moons
to worship with their fish eyes. It must be love.
