Stan Galloway’s most recent poem to appear here was June, published in July 2011 as part of Contributor Series 9: If Men Had Ears. This is a very different poem, yet no less evocative and visual.
Pin Dot
By Stan Galloway
By Stan Galloway
You say you are a pin dot in the cosmos,
tiny fraction of insignificance,
but you forget that monks debated
long through many nights
what might be found
on the head of any given pin,
and when I see you, I know,
uncountable,
all over the pin dot
that is you,
angels must be dancing.
Wonderful!
Lovely imagery, lovely poem. It made my morning since it was the first email in my inbox!
This brings a smile to my face today and good thoughts to my soul.
Beautiful!
So much said about a pin dot! Beautiful memories of the same angels I saw in others eyes on other days when love spoke to me. Whether they were true or untrue was irrelavant. The beauty and romance of Stan’s great poem spoke to my heart and I felt joy. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words and encouragement.
