Simply Musing

Maybe i am the tainted dust that settles beneath

that infinite evening sky, and

Perhaps i am the winter ground that lay hard

Between the living and the dead

Could i be the orange sands that stretch

outwards into a vast sea of fire

Is it possible these arms, hands and legs

are all fabrics of immagination

If i, Myself am this mighty tree reaching outside

itself, high above those lofty branches

Am i then in need?

 

I can not live forever, and i am surely

no God or prophet

 

The barelys gold fingertips brush inder mine

I am transformed, Transfigured, movement

occurs in realms i am not to concieve

Simple nature leads me from my flesh, it

Carries me adrift in its vaporous arms

I am unobserved above my form

If nature were to set its motions suddenly against me

dropping me back into a skin prison

if i were to offend with empty phrases

and a crazed loose sword lunging forth between teeth

Would she ever take me back under her intangible wing?

 

Time beyond us and time before us

As though we were ghosts, beginning at an end

And ending at a beginning, we posses elusive forms

Where within oneself life i hidden, waiting

To burst forth into some bright and glorious day

It is of too little significance to a world

A world such as this, that i should die

And soon become less, and soon become more

 

Dream more? what substance lay between bone walls?

Live less? Being, Thinking and doing is all you really have

Chose life, life for a penny, for a song, life outside hands

Just out of reach

 

Simply musing

time spent, time worth losing

These are lifes finalized ending distractions

Uncountable introspective golden reflections

And so if my soul be carted away tonight

I end with love, with life and joy

So much as to being with an end.
