Myth and Method

John Pidgeon

The human heart cannot love;

it is the mind that learns to move.

The sun does not really set;

we simply turn away from it.

The sky may blaze a deep azure,

but only to one standing here.

We wish upon a falling star,

a piece of dusty meteor.

A child may be invincible;

a man will tell a parable.

John Pidgeon
