Shining forth
From Rome
I feel it’s rays
Trans-continental beams
Beckoning
Hope
Goodness
Love
I struggle in
The warmth of the sun
I am a sky
Grey
And dense with fog
You shine your light
Amidst, throughout
A rainbow of color
On an overcast day
Rain or shine
You’ll still be mine
Through calms and storms
I’ll still be yours
Through droughts and showers
The world will still be ours

“no one can step in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and they are not the same person” – possibly Heraclitus
just as no one can step in the same river twice, no one can have the same experience of “as common as carbon” twice
