The Fantasy Of Life And Death

The Fantasy Of Life And Death

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)

 

How right is rain

When a rainbow

Is nature’s greatest illusion?

Then again it is also

The greatest prop

On the grandest stage

Of them all

Where some go by script

And others are a master

Of improv.

So then what of the clouds?

Are they the curtain call?

If so why does the show

Still go on?

Let every wisp of every wind

Be the standing ovation

So we lease not forget

The feeling of glory.

Walk amongst those

In the background

Now and them

So you can remember

The reason for which

You came,

For the sun maybe your spotlight

But the moon is your savior.

When all is said and done

The thunder will be the greatest fear

Still the lightning is the answer.

That is why only the smartest know

You will never have peace on earth

Till you are one with her womb

Cause that is when you come full circle

And fulfill your destiny.

This is a really great write! I love your first three lines. They perfectly set the stage for the rest of the piece. "You will never have peace on earth/Till you are one with womb/Cause that is when you come full circle/And fulfill your destiny." Wow! You end this as well as you began it. Progresses great! Wonderful description.

Procreation. Yes, the destiny of our existence. Keep the species alive. Ours isn't the greatest, as thought. But merely the most enchanted with the gift of knowledge. Greater ability of the mind. Our only strength is our mind. If it weren't for that, our existence would not be. Ultimately, nothing on this planet or this universe is as it appears, and seems to be. Illusion is the only truth of existence. For everything we see, there is another that lays beneath contradicting what we think we see. A cloud, for instance. Looks to be white smoke. Not so. It is water in a gaseous state. Mixed with impurities both natural, and man made. The point being, life is but a play upon a stage. Do you see it from the audience or from behind the curtains? It makes the greatest difference in the world from which vantage point you observe life, as to how you are affected your life...
