Dennis, what a deeply beautiful sonnet---a difficult and demanding form,
but seemingly so effortlessly achieved.
I hope others listmembers who enjoy poetry will visit your website where
you have gathered so many poems to share--it is well worth the trip---and
thanks for sharing this one!

>Uncertainty Principle
>
>When we were young to see was to believe,
>we knew that sand was white and water blue,
>and then we found that colours could change hue,
>and thought our younger selves a touch naive.
>Now we have learned that time and life deceive,
>that time relates, and life's reality
>is Heisenberg deduced uncertainty,
>no matter what our senses may perceive.
>And so, again, we find ourselves at sea
>watching the waves break on a narrow beach
>wondering if tomorrow there will be
>anything solid left within our reach
>and will we find it in us to be brave
>when we are called to ride the breaking wave.
