Full Circle

Discoveries

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coming full circle on oneself, never tried,

In approaching, it flees, in leaving, it beckons,

And yet it is like none other, never seen.

For when did I see myself moving life to life?

Design a life for myself and being born in it.

A life of waves, chemicals, metals and tissue,

A life from the future that gives to the past,

And when you are in such a future, it reverses.

A life that you perceive living, as being another's,

A death and a realization of life's mortal nature.

 

Mere elements create an ionization and then bond,

They grow wider in circles and man extends outwards,

Wild excitement at the inception, contemplative later,

Each experience temporal and yet they add up,

Tiny bits of joys that lead to a full life of knowledge,

Sometimes climbing to the peak to take a view,

To the day perhaps when we are fully construe,

With every resource at our fingertips to create.

Take your time, my creative and artful easel,

The universe, the world and I, was born this night.

[Mockingbird]

this poem is very philosophical and intuitive. it brings to mind advice of living in the moment as neither the past nor the future exists, but only the present. i especially like the last line "The universe, the world and i, was born this night."

I love this piece! You touch on so many areas of thought: past, present, future, the known and unknown. The simple facts of life, turned on its head. And spun around. I feel dizzy with self-contemplation, yet seemingly peaceful. This was simply beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful! An authoritative write! Those last two lines could have been written by Rumi!
The realisations just keep coming like gentle waves, they stir the things deep inside we already knew, and reading them brought them to life. Creativity penned! Thankyou

A life from the future that gives to the past...this poem just oozes with wisdom.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

A life from the future that gives to the past,
And when you are in such a future, it reverses.
A life that you perceive living, as being another's,
A death and a realization of life's mortal nature.

How many times have e made new discoveries that completely changes what we new about the past. Perception is seen in the info we have.
