"Forever ...And Why ...Ever... Not..."

"Forever ...And Why ...Ever... Not..."

A Poem by Chris
"

Not prose... it's a thought flow.

     I don’t normally give a primer in how a work of mine needs to be… but this time - it really does matter.  Please, don’t read this quietly or just once.  It is meant to be spoken with emotion and heard behind your eyes - not merely read.  Discover your voice - my voice… listen - to what is said and HOW it’s said, and how it …can… be said, and how each saying changes it and the understanding of it, and how your understanding affects the timing and rhythm of the thoughts and their flow, and how they affect our emotions.  The format - placement, spacing, bold, italics, punctuation, et al …ALL… have purpose and tonal bearings.  There are NO word or grammar choice mistakes - each word (even word repetitions - together or not) form or symbol is meant to be exactly as and where it’s at.  NONE of this work is prose; it is all a thought flow…

 

“Forever…And Why …Ever… Not…”


What is Free?  …freedom?

What is? - what is The price …of…OF

Any  thing? …anyevery_thing?

- everything?

What is The cost? …who?

Who -  pays? …what?

- what?  When?  …why?

- and why… ever… not?

 

Why is the sky? stillSTILL…blue?

 -blue, Why am I? …who? who...

-Are you? …where?

-Am I? …was?  I?  Do?

- I care? When? how …did You?

- what?  Why? why did I... did you?

When?  - and why… ever… not?

 

Can?  - I? - should  I?

 beme? - or not be?

- or not even be… meany me

ever …be,  such a way, a day

these… days, ways …whys…

Why?

…and why …ever… not?

 

It’s so cold… In the sun.

Feeling the rain rising inside,

feeling each step taken

- each pause,

- each thought…

Remembering “forevers”

And every …not.

Thought flow... Yes. One thought flows easily and moves seamlessly into the next all the way down the page.
And the calm that is you weaves in and out as does the beating of the heart.
