When we are born,
We get it, and then
A little at a time
That which was gotten
Becomes the forgotten.
Concepts invade our every
Sense, even though we know
We are blessed, these concepts
Pervade, like dew drops
Covering our eyes in a grand
Masquerade.
Reality becomes blurry,
And, at times, with such furry,
We lash out at others,
Because we feel quite smothered.
Lost in concepts,
Of our own creation,
A mentality develops
Of great separation.
And, yes, isolation follows,
Yet there is another way
We may harken today,
Recalling what we got
So long ago,
By remembering…
Comes from within,
And feels like a magical
Enterprise, one, I do surmise,
Has been within me
For a very long time.
Though hidden
For a spell,
I do often tell
Of a time
Not so long ago,
Where my intuition
Reappeared, and with
It a zest
For the love of
This life.
Not another life,
Full of perceived strife.
It is a common misconception,
Created,
By our over-thinking,
And even conceiving of
A way out
Of what’s right
In front of us, and has
Been from the
start.
And?
In the end, The thinking is the Antithesis of what’s…
This planet with all
It’s mysterious contemplations,
I often look up from the surface,
And wonder out loud about
The motion of the cosmos’
Manipulations,
In relation to
The everlasting connection
We share
With all, we see up
In the air, if I dare, I just might
Compare
It with the stars hidden
From view, connected all the same
Within you and me.
The connection is quite fair,
And quite frankly beyond compare
Connected from within and without.
All the beauty, no doubt,
Running in the rivers, streams,
And creeks, like the life that flows
Through us, and is
Between…
You tower above us all,
Just looking up, I feel as
If I might fall.
Now back to the presents call,
Grounded in the known, and,
Yes, sometimes, unknown.
They are, of course,
Different sides of the same
Coin, joined together like all
Pairs of opposites, which, at times,
We imagine as disparate.
A common misnomer, like
Standing in your shadow,
Gazing up at the steel reinforcements,
Which make up your very tall tableau.
I move back to get a better glimpse,
Imagining times past, and all
The people who stood
Right on this spot
Completing
The very
Same
Maneuver…
