A Poem For Today - The Crystal Gazer

[KEN DICKINSON]



The Crystal Gazer

I shall gather myself into myself again,

I shall take my scattered selves and make them one,

Fusing them into a polished crystal ball

Where I can see the moon and the flashing sun.

I shall sit like a sibyl, hour after hour intent, Watching the future come and the present go, And the litte shifting pictures of people rushing In restless self-importance to and fro.
