Hagiography

I found myself smiling,
a telescope finding my
own private Jupiter
cooped in the noose
of a bulb

Yes,
its stupid to measure in hope-
-  this I know
but I’m told it's the last
thing to die....

So why would
I sully such luminary
wisdom...

.. . In  kingdoms of
merciless churches I find
myself smiling

  ...the search is still on
for a cause to believe in

but I shall be biding 
my time.

I do believe..but not in those man made things
A higher ground I do find.. in hopes and longing dreams..

Take all the time you need..in search of tomorrows..
but live to the fullest...today.

Very interesting...hope-full...Timely..

Thank you Jazzy- I think writing gives us transport,a chance to journey and to sometime dissolve into our surroundings- that can't be a bad thing-!

[J. J. Nightingale]

You are welcome........... and I agree..............♥

Methinks you have kissed the Philosopher’s stone
Sir Alistair! Ahhh, are you a doubting Thomas? Your poem itself is “luminary” in its feel, language, form terpsichore, ethereal imagery and beauty...”merciless churches”-your Jupiter and I concur...we wait and hope...Magnificent write!

Thank you kindly, Annette,- I must admit, I do rather place my faith in doubt- but retain an interest in the possibility of something other, as yet unrevealed- that probably sounds a wee bit nebulous!

Thank you muchly!

Great writing, interesting and thought provoking, I think a lot of people are searching in these days, good to pause and reflect on things, Thankyou

Thank you George- these are strange times indeed- too much surface noise is encouraged- and i believe that as a species we have to undergo a radical shift in thinking with regars to our future.

[George Coombs]

Yes, I quite agree
