Recitation for Alasdair Macintyre

Philosophical Poetry

Small trailside waterfall — Forest Park, Portland, OR — 2/20/21 — Photo by author

We are the ones who know
We are the ones who strive
We are aching for truth but hiding in our own shadows
We are nothing but dust
We are everything in spirit
We are who we say we are not
And all that we hope to be will soon
End and
Begin again
A little further down the path.
