Day 607: Continuities


'Nothing is ever really lost, or can be lost...'

Thank you Walt for this comforting assurance.


 Continuities - Walt Whitman 

 Nothing is ever really lost, or can be lost,
 No birth, identity, form - no object of the world.
 Nor life, nor force, nor any visible thing;
 Appearance must not foil, nor shifted sphere confuse thy brain.
 Ample are time and space - ample the fields of Nature.
 The body, sluggish, aged, cold - the embers left from earlier fires,
 The light in the eye grown dim, shall duly flame again;
 The sun now low in the west rises for mornings and for noons continual;
 To frozen clods ever the spring's invisible law returns,
 With grass and flowers and summer fruits and corn.
