Stars, Tides, Sundials

Floating down
A river called Time,
With raindrops
And thunderbolts;
Brooks and volcanoes;
Locks and keys;
Hellos and goodbyes;
Weeds and daffodils;
Realise,
Hearts are many,
Head is one.
Use it.

  7. @Sooper, Rakesh, Megalomaniac, Nishanth and Shar,

    @Kobster,
    Get lost.

    @Banshee,
    What man? I use my head ok. A LOT. :P

    @Kogi,
    I liked your comment, although I am not sure as to why that has become your standard comment on this blog. :-|

    @Slinky,
    It deals with irony and contrasts. A brook is generally placid and gentle, while a volcano is volatile and explosive. Hence, the association.
