The genius of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven –
what makes such complexity relaxing,
such simplicity beautiful?
It defies my attempts to judge,
like tearing off a butterfly’s wings

I just sit, contemplate
and follow where it will go

Fake news all around
Nothing new under the sun
But what is the sun?

Staring at the north
where the sun will never reach
Fulcrom of the earth

You travel to earth’s extremities
while I plumb the greater depths of the mind

The world experience is merely that –
however far I go it all comes back to me
