Could it be
Reality
Is not a lot of what
There is to see?
Is it true
That there’s a clue
In rings and wings and things
Out of the blue?
What if skies
Before our eyes
Are bright with flight of light
That never dies?
What if trees
Sway in the breeze
And swoon and croon in tune
With hidden seas?
Is it true
That me and you
Each swirl and twirl and curl
With subtle hue?
Could it be
Eternity
Is not the plot of what
We choose to see?

String, Donuts, Bubbles and Me: Favourite Philosophical Poems
This creative collection, now in its 3rd edition, brings together philosophical poems by Wayne Visser. In this anthology, he muses on subjects ranging from space, angels and destiny to time, science and meaning in life. According to scientists / The world’s made of string / That buzzes and fuzzes / Or some such strange thing / It’s also a donut / That curls round a hole / With middles and riddles / Just like a fish bowl / And there’s no mistaking / It’s more than 3-D / With twenty or plenty / Dimensions unseen / Still others insist / It’s really a bubble / That’s popping and bopping / Through the lenses of Hubble.
