Evolving

Evolving

A Poem by Ahmad Cox

The world is evolving
It is evolving ever quicker 
Rotating wildly 
As it spins through space
We are moving ever quicker
Toward a destination
That becomes more uncertain
With each passing moment
But there is power in change
And power in the mysterious
The anticipation of things to come
We continue to move down
Into a more slippery slope
We are getting to the breaking point
We are almost to the point
Where we can't bear any longer
We listen to the news
And we hear how many people 
Are lost
How many people are walking
How many people are out there
Walking on their own
How many people are suffering
How the world seems to be getting 
More out of control by the minute
It seems like the world is sinking
Into ever greater chaos
And we are just along for the ride
We are moving along
With this wonderful blue planet we call home
Moving along as we move through space
As we move through time
Evolving and changing
With each new second
That we swirl around
In this great big mess
But we are moving towards something
What the future holds is uncertain
But we are definitely moving toward something
I think we can all feel it
The Earth can feel it too
The birth pangs of a new beginning
A new way of thinking
A new way of interacting with ourselves
A new way of interacting with God 
And even with the universe
And this wonderful blue planet that we call home
We will reach a new place of understanding
And truly find our place in the sun
Moving forward
Evolving and revolving 
More in harmony with ourselves
And with everything else around us

I so hope you are right, because otherwise, it is going to be the end of us!

I feel like most of this piece is to read in a sense of urgency but at the end it slows down and becomes very hopeful. Thank you as always for writing.

Here's the best place to get stuff out.
revolving and evolving, might we be devolving at times? very poignant.

Yeah, I can definitely feel the quickening of things, much like a Mother's contractions increase as she grows nearer to giving birth. I believe it is vitally important that we unite in silence so we can hear the wisdom of this newborn Child for he (or she) will help us understand this New Way.

lovely, amaing magical poem..sounds like prediction, which makes me feel thrills and so strange inside me..this chaos, and 'moving towards" uncertain future is everywhere, inside of us and out in the world..and there is no way but to grow to the end...we have to feel it..no other way, if we want or not...that what is to be afraid. somehow
