A poem by Don Marquis

Realities

________________________________________________
Title:     Realities
Author: Don Marquis [More Titles by Marquis]


WE are deceived by the shadow, we see not the
substance of things.
For the hills are less solid than thought; and
deeds are but vapors; and flesh
Is a mist thrown off and resumed by the soul, as
a world by a god.
Back of the transient appearance dwells in
ineffable calm
The utter reality, ultimate truth; this seems and
that is.






[The end]
Don Marquis's Poem: Realities
