Inaction Is Not An Option!

'Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.' - Albert Einstein

Inaction Is Not An Option 

Come,

Take hold my hand,

I will guide you across

This pyrite barbed labyrinth of perplexity,

And lead us onto byzantine levels of space-time happenstances.

 

Moreover,

As we overcome adversities,

A diurnal of newly defined consciousness

Will entwine our transference of actuality, hearts and minds

Until we reach that place of promised reverie and aspirations.

 

Now,

We must act quickly,

For even eternity is too short a time,

Compared to the enormity of loss, we might let slip

If you contemplate a hesitation and do not take my hand.

This write is for the deep minded ONLY... it pulls out a cynical side of me that just laughs and laughs... I know all too well where so many well-minded individuals spend their moments...their thoughts-- and how into ruts they are-- The common person simply forced to "drone" on in the land of "numb" ... This piece is unfathomable for them. So, here I am, reading it, and I am moved, taken out of the common arena that much farther, and to think that I could be missing out on eternity???? It just hits me square between the eyes. Thank you for the ponder Phil!

I thoroughly enjoyed this piece and how tangibly abstract it was. Some of my favorite lines were "byzantine levels of space-time happenstances" and "For even eternity is too short a time". I just loved wrapping my mind around this, a most excellent write indeed!!

Lol Fight the Power! Haha! That's pretty much what you were trying to say, I think. ;) The tone of this poem gave me the impression that perplexity and uncertainty are perhaps adventures! I think that's really cool how you worked your way around having to say that directly. Great job and Thanks for sharing!

Truly wonderful, my friend. Indeed, time is slipping by so rapidly... and in a moment we'll be left to face eternity!

I love the words used in this i did have to read it twice and slower the second time but the word play is a good choice to enhance the poem nicely done
