Sorry I haven't been around: Sorry I haven't been around much, but things have been hectic and demanding for me lately.
The brilliance of this poem is its illustrative structure and symmetry that gracefully captures the fascinating metaphysics hidden in plain sight everywhere in nature. The cadence is captivating and the theme something that has intrigued me for some time.
It takes extraordinary creativity and insight to not only explore, but to breathe poetic life into a subject where science and spirit intersect and perhaps even give us a glimpse of the mathematical process of creation itself.
A sublime, mind-bending and immersive experience.
It will come back around...: It will come back around... it's something built into you. And I find inbuilt things are hard to control or manage even. Hope you keep your account open for when the writing "spell" resurfaces however far or near in between.
Honestly I'm pretty much: Honestly I'm pretty much falling out of writing- don't have nearly the passion I once did- but thank you for your comment, definitely nice to see you're still pumping
The world that we live in: The world that we live in allows for the commodification of existence. The imagery of being fossilized and studied, to me, speaks to the enduring nature of our impact, even when lost to the mists of time. First read of the year on your page... it may be an important segment of your writing journey!
This poem reminds me..: This poem reminds me of the time I attended my nephew's engagement party which took place in my brother's home. I was sitting on the couch chatting with some other guests when my brother approaches and says 'I'd like to introduce you to Dr Miller'. I start to get up to shake his hand but my brother says 'Don't get up. He's only a dentist'. Thanks for posting.
You're dearly missed,: You're dearly missed, Stella.
I never got the thank you for this kind comment. You were, and remain, such inspirational support - both in words already shared and known, and those discovered as new.
Oh wow: I do not know that song but will definitely give it a litsen. I'm glad you liked it and am honored to to have written something that is compared to something of his. Thank you.
Hi. Do you know the Ray Charles song..: Hi. Do you know the Ray Charles song 'You Don't Know Me'? That song came to mind as I was reading your lyrics. If you'll allow me:
You thought that you know me?
I'm saying, bitch you don't
You don't even see me
I'm saying, bitch you won't
Sounded like lots of fun
But now I'm fucking done
You thought you knew me
Similar, no?
I enjoyed reading it. Thanks for posting.
