The Great Understanding

The Great Understanding

by Sean Roper

A mother bears down in tears of hope and rage.

A baby born from her resemblance

brings to her a new dawn of light.

She sees the final meaning of life…


The sky inflamed with the hallow of morning stars

A child sees the fallen bird, the question arises;

With the first knowledge of the cosmos,

the first understanding of life; it ends.
