We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

On Edge
A bell rings from the distant church; it seems it’s in the trees.
Is it above the mountain and clouds, maybe below the earth?
Something sends a pall of haze. I will not listen to the bell.
