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.
