David Taylor - dogs bark, babies cry

the sun smiled and the shadows smiled back
the space in between smiled to be seen
and I too smiled as I looked at the scene;

yes a little dog barked and a baby cried
if I said that I knew I would know that's a lie
and if I said to myself that I could not possibly know;

the Earth would stop turning, its turning would end
and all love would be vanquished and no longer flow
because we cannot deny what is beyond what we know?
