POETRY CORNER

A poem by JULIA SOKOLOVA, inspired by our discussions of death and truth (on the subject of belief in angels...). THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JULIA!!

     A picture I can never take,
     A word that I can never hear,
     The move that I can never see,
     A subject I can never lift.

     A place where I can never go,
     A book that I can never open,
     The music I can never play,
     A window that is always shut.

     It's there, though I cannot prove it,
     It's something you will not believe in,
     It's something you will never think of,
     It's something you will never see.

     Although I know that it is stupid,
     I do believe that they exist.
     And though you think it's kind of weird
     They will always be part of me.
