Taking Measure
There are two ways
At least, so they say,
To take measure
Of our journey. One is
To look back to see
How far it is we have
Come (or is it gone?).
The second is to look
Ahead to see how far
There is yet to go.
Distance
travelled
May be a good topic
For conversation, so,
Too, the way stops.
Then there is, of course,
The matter of company,
Which is not inconsequential,
And is so beyond measure.
Bruce Morton splits his time between Montana and Arizona. He was formerly Dean of Libraries at Montana State University.
Thanks, the journey continues.
