I capture a moment

            Reading poetry tonight,
            I am reminded of the shortest,
            complete poem,
             rising up fom silence,
            temporarily lost:

                     I?

                 Why?

            Think about that.
            Feel those two words.
            To answer those questions
            can be personal,
            philosophical,
            religious, 
            but to have written them.
            was the definition of a poet,
            poetry,
            humanity
            for all time.
