~ Like an Ephemera

It's all temporary....

~ Like an Ephemera

 

When I fly, it is most intense…

And when my tiny wings reach the sky,

As I live breathe and will die

Feeling each breeze through my body

Just up high thinking one thing;

Now I still live, and breathe,

“It was the most intense day”

And rather I would be around longer

And stay…

 

The law of nature will maybe bring me back

But just now I’m dying, and I got to go…

 

Flashes of light bring me back to facts;

I was early mature,

And programmed to love,

To find food, and to build a nest,

To fly around on the ninth hour

To lose my founded food, and to re find it,

And to find my love…

 

But seen as a fault of natural genetics

I shall be just unacceptable and going anyway...

 

Just before I leave, know I found you,

My dearly mayfly, high in the sky

There we fulfilled the moment

The need of pleasure and pure essence,

On that cloud we produced our afterlife

With the sun in our back shining bright,

To be born out of the seas, like our revelation

Or in Greek; “apocalypse” of love,

Maybe just for a daytime…

 

We are the pinnacle of impermanence

And we had a most beautiful flight

But in twenty-four hours you can do more than

We think we would ever reach…

So it’s worthy to let go, this life,

There is no need for tears, as they dry

Of happiness, and only shine…

 

Hold my wing, youth shall be born soon,

We can go, we did achieved our purpose…

The need of pleasure and pure essence,
On that cloud we produced our afterlife

We are the pinnacle of impermanence

1. This piece reminds me of two things the instinct to love and recurrent dreams of flying I have xD

Your poetic voice is like the world-soul's memory of poetry, memory of life. I think when you have left your body, people will read your poems and it will cause quite a good scandal.

LOL, that is what I mean with "Impossible" you're so impossible.... ;-) scandals or not, I transformed into a nude Ephemera.... I'm already death, the 24 hours, I lived spoke history :) x

But thank you deeply, most appreciated, ( you know my jokes by now don't you? ) ;-)

It is all temporary Elisa, this journey among many perhaps. Lovely write deep and hopefully we all grow younger in thought and deed full of life and chances.. Happy New Year!

Exactly, and I love that thought somehow... :) thank you very much Moon for your thoughts, and also a very Happy New Year to you too :)

The whole poem has a kind of quiet magick to it, Eli. I really like the ending stanza a lot. The whole idea of "youth shall be born soon" is so lovely. I was told as a child that I had an old soul. I gave me a sense that I was aging backwards through life, with youth being my final destination. I wonder what will happen when I grow young...
I could connect with this on so many levels. I LOVE a "fault of natural genetics". That line is something very special. As if being born as who we are is a flaw. That is a very interesting thought.
Nice work on this, my friend.

You have been told that too? :) that makes me smile Court! again a thingy we share. Wow, and even that thought, made me remember the movie with Brad Pitt, " 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'" as your analogy fits that movie so well. Thank you dear for picking that line out, I guess faults in genetics are interesting. I never liked things too perfect. Thank you so much for your thoughts, dear friend, they always make me smile. :)

[CS]

I feel a lot like Benjamin Button! I remember watching that movie and being like, Geez, that is exactly what I feel like. I don't know if it such a bad thing though. Being born old gives you a special kind of insight into things. I think it makes you happier just to be alive. You are most welcome for my thoughts, my fellow old soul :)

Hehehe like our "Alpha Centauri" moments in the old days, remember lol.... that old. :D
It will for sure. That was a great movie too, that great I didn't forget the title. (I always struggle with titles). We just were born maybe in the wrong decate lol, but as you say, it really gives us special kind of insights into things, so very true... :)

This is gossamer writing. Very high quality and in style anything but ephemeral.

Thanks a million Ken, for your words, time and visit, truly appreciated.

This is beautiful awesomeness like you! You've been missed Ms Ellie! so glad you are posting again. Favorite stanza in this one is "
We are the pinnacle of impermanence
And we had a most beautiful flight
But in twenty-four hours you can do more than
We think we would ever reach…
So it’s worthy to let go, this life,
There is no need for tears, as they dry
Of happiness, and only shine…"

I missed you too dear, Thank you so much for your words, and visit.
Hope you had a fantastic New Year, x

[Belle]

When I fly, it is most intense…

I witnessed and is still witnessing that you do.
Welcome back my Dearest friend! You've been missed and this kind of poetry too.

My heart is rewarmed, especially by your words, my dearest sweetheart. I've missed you too, you have no idea, out in the middle of wilderness, I became much wiser... :) stronger, Dutcher... ;)

[Belle]

So good to hear that you'be been reborn -- stronger and wiser and beautiful-ler :D

:) Love to you, I hope this new year brings all the best to you too honey. You deserve it more than i do hugs x

[Belle]

Ah yes, I hope so as the last year brought me the worst and the best too. It is a blessing that I was able to end up the year with much fulfillment and now I the fisrt day of 2013 greeted me with more of it...We have a book Dear Eli " Angels Cried" a book for the victims of Sandy Hook tragedy ( if you heard it) and paperback was just released last night and will be available also at amazon Europe next week. I hope you can get get a copy...Ah such a blessing to share this to you my friend...

[Belle]

P.S. Never think I deserve the best more than you do. You are a good soul Dear sis so you deserve the best too...hug and hug and hug....

I would love to get a copy, I saw it on your page, it is marvelous.... you dear one, are a blessing, and I'm happy I dared to come back here, even it is just for a little moment.... missing you is terrible... hugssss dear xo love you sis

[Belle]

Oh please have one, the fund will go to the victims...
So this what is meant by this "It's all temporary...."
I believe in you, you know what is best. I just want to say take your time dear sis, and it is a bliss that I get the chance to have this moment with you for tomorrow I will also be out again. will be busy for work --again...

So am I love.... busy times are calling, and I see each minute as a mayfly or Emphemera...
Soon it's all over, and you realize you didn't lived the fullest, I love living the fullest, in real life, and be inspired by my loved ones, and reality calls.... I will be here now and than, to share my fictive heart, and love and light, to all of you.... Just private me how I can get a piece, I will pay for it, no worries... :D:D:D hugs and love to you, good luck on work.... all my love.

*then....

[Belle]

Yes I will do. Next week for sure it will be available in amazon EU, will tell you dear. Thank you soooo much!

Ofcourse, love.... I will buy it, as I'm hurt by the fact what happened to all of those lovely poor children, my heart goes out to the families, and loved ones~

[Belle]

Definitely, the best time in life is the time we spend with the love, with our work...family and work is our life. God bless you more Dear Eli for that. It is just that you will be missed again by many here...

You're a gem Belle, I always cary for people who touched me once or more in my short little lifetime... I'll never forget, I'm a poet, and my blood is filled with ink, how hard I try to run away from it, it will always knock my front door, I can't denial... I tried, but I simply can't. I need to write, since im a little Eli, 4 years, old, and I remember my first write. (under the dinner table) all alone, in home while my parents where at work. Since then I knew it's survival. I'm happier now, 2012 was for me a very bad bad year, but 13 in Italy is a lucky number, as it always brought me luck too, so I'm positive the New Year will watch over me now. :) I don't know to stay or to go yet.... my feeling says I must leave, my head needs balance and write... it's a dilemma, as it will always be lol xoxo

[Belle]

This is what I kept on telling Pax everytime he is worried of your absence : " Eli is a poet, she will come back to quench the thirst of her soul which is to write, to share and to touch another soul and I think you will agree if I say that WC is one best site for us to have re strengthen our thirsty soul :) So dear be rest assured that me, pax, revery (for sure) and Robbie will always be here for you...As for the real life, I live in a country of poverty so I know really the depth meaning of survival. You can do it Dear, I am sure of it. Kindred soul has always good reward in store...Do not worry too much, you need to stay beautiful-ler, right... :D :D

Yes, WC is the rightest place, it will always be.... however I branched out, my arms did have become larger, and wider, and reaching new places.... but I do never forget the time I came here, more than a year and a half almost ago, and I was warm welcomed, by some friends I still have now. It is wonderful to share a heart, if it's appreciated. So I will continue for those who love me, and my writing. So sweet of you, you know me best..... I can't leave my dearest friends on here, I simply can't I'm not that selfish I guess. I always look for peace, love, and new ways, to remach, and share our art. I'm def. not the best one, no way, but I'm learning each day and I'm so grateful to be here. And to share my words, (even in bad English sometimes) lol :) but hey, I'm learning, and it's never to late to learn..... :D love to you, so do you dearest, much love and light xoxo :D:D:D so happy to talk with you now!

Sometimes, in gorgeously stating certain truths, one suddenly ascends to Verity's unforeseen heights.
That, Elisa Laura, is what this oh-so-lovely poem dramatically demonstrates.

Lux et Veritas dear poet...
Can we fly? I always believe in it.... :) thank you dearly.
