Dialogue
Atlantis at night must be beautiful:
Lights once-Greek quietly
Illuminate the shores and other surfaces
And textures
Gold outside, silver-lit within;
We make it up, naturally,
Because we need to
Because
We want to wake up tomorrow on
An unknown shore that has
The best of what we are.

I love these descriptions again. The pictures they create are vivid. I like the brevity of this poem and the understanding of human nature. We always hope for abetted tomorrow, often one where things are perfect and are flaws aren’t what they are, where people act how we all would act, perhaps all being morally good and life being that way b/c of it. The Atlantis comparison/description is very apt. It symbolizing or metaphorically being this perfect place, this Eutopia. But in the end, as far as anyone knows, it being mythology like are hope for that perfect world. Not to stop hoping, but to stay grounded in hope & what we expect from life, the hard work and toil it takes to get to these places. Lovely again.
