Wow! I really felt my spirit: Wow! I really felt my spirit move in for what is fir me two poems that could both stand in their own right!
From this gorgeous immaculate prologue:
Quantum particles or
these
macro realms
like scattered jewels—
each one a cluster
of worlds,
each one terrifying
in its splendor,
each one an epoch
or epochs—
it's all the same
through the eyes
of Spirit
Who showed us a
day in the
life of forever,
and what a gift
to a teeming,
questioning planet
to rewind millennia
and peer into the
impossible:
Ravenous, mauling
void,
screaming white
pinholes:
the abyss and paradise
trading places
again and again,
here in a
glassy freedom
running rampant,
going about its
usual business
quite nicely
without us
in the
slow-breathing
star kingdoms and
pastures of
silence.
Imagine:
immaculate, immortal,
opulent . . .
Followed by this incredible soliloquy:
silence
where there
should be legends
that make us weep,
grind us into dust,
crush our writhing
hearts in a vise . . .
Magnetic darkness
like a wordless sage
too evolved for our
prim and
acceptable faith,
our shark-toothed love,
our trifling
mortal stories,
say something.
Tell us about the
rest of it.
Read from the Book
of Omnipotence
here, at time's end
and time's beginning,
where new, polished
thoughts are
possible,
here, in the center
of raging emptiness
and raucous stillness
between galaxies.
Galaxies!
Is this God or another
exhibition at the
palace?
Whatever this is,
for a moment
we are perfectly
cleansed
and perfectly here
and perfectly united
in wonder.
Both take me to very well travelled and new places thoughts and dillemas. You have so beautifully penned these here. I hope you don't mind that I like them individually more than together, the perfection of the first has left an indelible impression on my thoughts. Best blessings Ss.
The simplicity of what:
The simplicity of what surrounds our lives every day is a pleasure to read, when painted with words by a true artist.
Thank you for this, it's beautiful.
"Can yours ever be the same: "Can yours ever be the same where you are?" I have never been able to put this haunting sentiment into words. how you made grief sound so beautiful!
