The Best Poem Of Gretel Nabeta

A Verse Or More

Should we feel it as one verse?
This place in which our lives unfold,
No end, reverse or beginning,
A secret which untold remains.

Is there enough endless time
To build a mirror of this world?
Piece by piece, to build a rhyme
To life: a sail yet seen unfurled.

Or is this verse not by itself?
Another you, another they,
A poem on a dusty shelf,
A stranger to the light of day.

A stranger light which twinkles high,
Which in truth may just be us,
Sits atop the starry sky,
No greater than a speck of dust.

And so, life’s untold mystery
Rests in some shelf another day.
The least known rhyme in history,
Writ in water’s washed away.

So should we feel it as one verse?
This place in which our lives unfold,
No end, beginning or reverse,
A secret which remains untold.
