Being

Existence,
being, thinking.
Improbable!
All that
occurred
for being.
Thinking,
an amazing
concept.
Understanding
improbability.
Improbability
of being.
Improbability of
of personal
existence.
What are
the odds?
How many
events needed
for existence?
For personal
existence?
Incalculable.
All that occurred
for personal
existence.
Incalculable!
Flash of being.
Personal existence,
firefly in nature.
Brief.
A few blinks
then.....
What to do
within the blinks?
Make the
most of your
unfathomable
being,
unfathomable
existence.
Process.
Butterfly effect.
What is
done today,
will affect
forever.
Will change
the course
of events.
Will effect
those yet
to be.
Make a
difference,
a positive
difference.
Make your
blinks count!
Make your
Improbability
meaningful
for all that’s
yet
to be!

Very interesting and thought provoking JG. I like to address these puzzling questions of meaning myself but I'm not sure I've come up with any answers. I'm interested in your formatting - I'm all for 'anything goes' - as long as there is some reason.It does give your poem a vibrant stream of thought vibe!
Regards,

Hi Alan,

Thank you for reading my work and for your gracious thoughts. The formatting is designed to focus on the individual words whose meaning can be lost in sentences and paragraphs I think. To me anyway it punches up my thoughts.
