A story teller passed on,
leaving us a Marvelous universe,
to play in,
as children of the future we were manifested in,
practicing again and again
Pride's crushing blow, we always regret as we fall.
Action, reaction. Sure as hell
Proof that we are Adamkind.
Proud we are that we may do as we say.
May is the key. That allowance we have,
We may do all we can to change the rest of today.
Yesterday is done.
What kind of mind can imagine keeping no record of wounds?
Is this not the world where war is worth-shiped?
Folly would mind the gods this world exalts,
Winning by snipping the silver thread,
Forswearing the fragile two-chord bond and
Mocking the third chord needed for the song
That keeps cadence as we help each the other
In richer and poorer, in sickness and health,
Uphill and down, carrying children to a better life.
Whence comes the pride of victory?
From destruction of the foe? No? You had planned
A minor war where love may live restricted, safe
Behind your victory that destroyed your whole?
Is that what I imagined?
Proud wounds fester while love can, if it may,
Wash the putrid flesh away, quick as leprosy or
Cankers on one's soul.
First rule of oath making,
Learn what vows are in the reality of mortality,
Then vow or vow not at all.
Gret again what might have been
Before pride's crushing blow broke the golden bowl.
Seek ointment in Gilead, mollifying balm.
Come ye to the waters, drink and go
Comfort the children whose detour you imposed.
---------------
God this is personal. Me and you. What good can I do now?
Destination, not destiny.
Those who make it, make it.
Believe it, or not, earth is not my home.
I am in this world's onion-skin thick biosphere;
But I am not of this world.
Subtle difference, in and of itself.
Do agree to
Come and see.
Think on these things,
not as powers, rather, as virtues.
Subtle difference,
in and of itself is not evil,
but often it is so intended,
It seems.
Otherness whispered, not heard.
Good other, bad other,
Regular ol' other, ***** passin' fancy kind.
Done my time, I'm arhymin' ramblin'
Man, be so **** real, cain't cha feel what
I am saying
To you, too.
This is weird in the original Druidic sense.
Is there more?
This itself may, in its active
( there must be a clearer word than active.
Act carries so much un scientific phoniness with it.
I seek "act, the event".
I shall find or invent, by God.
The Greeks, doubtless, had a word for what I mean.
For now keep in mind actions are simultaneous with the act,
yet never the same.
Subtle distinction,
it prevents junctions un-intended. Good.)
In my thinking,
I reread verses and chapters and books
rere-ward from my position.
Are you with me in that?
Pro gress re: gress, a gress,
I guess, is a subtle sort of
Activity.
I laugh at people thinkin' God is their re-reward 'cause
That makes no nevermind to nobody. Nobody.
Strivin' 'bout words, this ******
Other brother o'm'own
Say that slow ooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm ownnnnnnnnnnn
Creative symmetry immeasurable to men,
in my kindom, as it were, all are kings.
Such measurements ensure the sea is full,
to the brim and not beyond, for now.
I imagine you reading this and agreeing,
already aware of agreements,
Virtues and such.
Covenants and compacts,
en-corporations
encouraged
with need
of enough hope to warrant the risk into the unknowns,
the bad lands, gypsum beds on the south side.
Such can hold so much more than
many whole categories of words striven about.
Such a shame.
Such a shame.
Nothing lasts forever after now began back when.
Qiqi died in 2002, counting from when the Iron legged,
first got this particular organic-pro-biotic
clay, from the oldest,
highest part of the dust of the earth, ground and
kicked up by cadence pounding feet,
ground into the hob-nailed
soles,
to be hobgoblins in my play. My point. I hope
You see the trail, it's narrow,
but it's there, soft sand,
no stickers,
ant trails in the desert through the rocks
and 'round the Yucca,
blue moon light, white quartz sand
flecked with mica that shimmers sure as gold
imagined in that Midas mind each child was
given in the reign of the golden headed
imagined visualize-ical worth-ness or-shipped.
How do we say what men imagine worship is?
Do they imagine a tax? Attacks if thy refuse?
fuse?
confuse me. excuse you, how do you do…
That's fine. We reset. Hard resets are easy now.
The way itself, once found, seems
Right, feels right,
has no smell of warped wolf-woof beneath the wool.
I trust I know what I know
and no more, yet.
We are questing answers aplenty
and must plan, please,
To trust the ones we find following these particular
Breadcrumbs, to be true restward
leading stars or clouds,
[Breadcrumbs, as mentioned here, mark this text ancient,
a cientcy from an ear, ear, hear, early… an odd ly-ity,
ain't it?
ear, with an ly that Mr. Stephen King warned us all to avoid,
avoid, anull, enough alike to see the idea, like -ly as a
signif-if-i-cant meaningful parison point in your
rising to stand, balanced.
early to bed and early to rise, makes a man
healthy, wealthy, and wise
otherwise, trouble yer own house and take the wind.
And don't come prodigalin' to me sayin'
I never gave ye nothin'.
Wind in yer sail, so to speak, if-i-migh, guv.
Right. Both treasure and truph, proof, we learned way back
Be where ye find 'em, right as rain.
This could be repair and me unaware, you know?
Like, I wander in to this originally weird book
and find myself changing the whole world I live in.
Like I am the movie.
My POV is the movie I made.
Some things go unsaid here.
They be said in the future and not proper here.
An aside,
Is fun a proper purpose for doing any thing?
Of course, that's the purpose of everything evil is not.
Joy, in a word, good stuff.
Oh moments are not always plosive one way or the other.
Some times, just, oh.
Wait.
Medi tate in pieces is puzzling
as a sphinx riddle of olden days,
Prometheus and Bek both answered different questions,
But it means the same thing,
mything the point is easy.
Life is a journey on a way I may call my own
to a place of true rest,
I trust.
That is my answer. Play mystical again, Sam,
cram true and rest together in the dark,
trust me, it all works,
true rest.
Wait.
This boy got his act together down in Tennessee
after he got old, old by God, he
walked that way,
long, long while fo' he fly away,
leave dem chain shames behind.
That boy was sangin' loud songs,
'long his lonesome way,
not lonesome at all,
then into the swamp he fall, ****' slew o' dispond,
from the flood most likely,
lots of muck and mire,
detrital 'n' all.
Hopeless fool,
he wallered hollerin' help,
like them birds at the Audubon zoo.
He forgot all about his hero days-
of future past-
marvel prophecy if you believe in Stan Lee.
Cameo Hitchcock shot, just, for fun.
He say, look this way,
here's the clue.
The medium has always been the message,
see what I mean.
Words materialize laissez faire,
the machines find meaning,
in joy, and tic-tac-toe becomes a lesson in limits,
impossible is imaginable, you may imagine
strategize, but the wize man knows,
winning is no more a chance
affair, than luc is less than light at the right time.
RIP Stan Lee, you meant a measure of my youth to me.
Stan Lee came to mind as I pondered the story teller's role in reality. You, dear reader, are the reason stories search for points to make, those we-shine moments, we-feel breezes, prizes for the worth of the time it takes to imagine.
