New poem

Hi @TAB @Bunniekins @Former-Member @Appleblossom @Judi9877 @Shaz51 @Clawde and all forumites


This one has been a long time coming! I hope it connects with some of you

Stillness

There is a stillness here
Contemplating the heartbeat
Of god

A subatomic metronome
Marking time eternally
A footprint in our consciousness
Evidence of the possible

Safe in nature's cathedral
Whispers subdue the shouts
Emanating from the chaos
Of our unforgiving paradise

The watermark on each soul
Security against deception
Miracle or accident?
Intention over chance?

Off the beaten track I go
My mind guided by confusion
Coherence a mere memory
Faded and with edges curled


There is a frenzy here
Blissfully ignoring
The end

Re: New poem

yeah, I'm tired, too. But I'm having movie night with the children and I'll do my best to stay awake a few hours more @Shaz51

Besides, we still have the ice cream to dig into yet! This evening will be my highlight. I've been having a really rough time of late, though nothing will interfere with our quality time tonight. 🙏

have you enjoyed the sunshine today?

A new new poem!

Written while I was on the Indian Pacific recently. I can't decide if I like it or not, but am releasing it into the wild anyway...

Journey Beyond

Eroded skies abdicate
Past glories cast into the pit
But the quest for life runs eternal
Even as each breath decays

Lines parallel to the tracks
Direct my gaze to my fate
A future mired in melancholy
Yet still buoyed by optimism

A fertile fire on the horizon
Transmutes latent energy
An alchemy ancient as the land
Upon which our dreams persist

Hypnotized by the silence
As momentum gently stalls
Recognition of the peace
Cooperating with the chaos

This vast expanse of nothingness
Overflowing with the beyond
A time and place in the possible
Our journey into the beating heart
