Making a Point Part II




Making a Point Part II
 
A point has no volume, only its location
No thought or shape, leaves no vocation
Without time to help it has only position
No direction, just time’s measured admonition
No measure of velocity, matters, or purpose
It just sits there on a four-dimension surface
So now then, what’s your point?
 
Well my point has a thought, a view
It matters to me, if not to you
My purpose is to defend that point of view
So now, what’s the matter with you?
 
So, between your point and mine
You have drawn a very fine line
That presents itself in minds existence
But it lacks volume and persistence
So now then, what does your line connect
Or is it an imaginary way for you to protect
… your point of view?
 
OK, let’s, before we draw a fine line
Add few points to yours and mine
Points of interest moving closer together
Where maybe we agree with one another
And a new picture starts to take shape
With the points, and lines that we make
So, with your points and mine
We accomplish something in time
And maybe even teach others too
That there can be differing points of view
 
With wisdom exquisite and points crystal clear 
We can bring us all together in a future so near
Even if this point and line require a fourth dimension
A surface bending time and space I first did mention
So that in our imagined world’s collective view
We achieve something greater between me and you
 

One thought on “Making a Point Part II”

  1. This is brilliant and a lesson for many…myself included. A message of respect and patience needed to listen and take worth of another’s point of view. Para 4 is almost a prayer to be remembered when “points of view” in conversation take on the uncomfortable.

    Just when I think “one of his best”…..along comes another capturing and thought provoking Musing. You have a gift.
