Something from Wheatstone

While at Wheastone this past week, I wrote a poem. I am not a very good poet and am usually a formally structured one when I do write. So this is quite different from what I've ever done. If there are any critiques that you would like to give, please feel free to share them. Well, time to tak the plunge

Night descends and stars shine
People wander in
Words are said and thoughts expressed
A circle of community forms

Thinking. Sharing. Sharpening.
Ideas become more and more refined
Energies feed one another
And the clock ticks

The dialectic flourishes
Thoughts are pared and expanded
But today is now tomorrow
And day is dawning

Lovely. Did you really talk the whole night through? =]

No, unfortunately we did not. Peter wanted to go to bed so we had to stop. But as we went up to bed, we couldn't decide whether to say "See you tomorrow" or "See you today." At that point is when I made the comment of today being tomorrow and it sounded rather poetic.
