Both places

Time is recalculated, as we whip around the sun.
Walking faster and faster, finally, trying to run.

Millions of us, sharing all the same spaces,
With different dimensions, but your always in two places.

Every outcome, is played out in a different dimension
The possibilities endless, too many to mention.

With a leg in each world, the sounds collide,
you straddle two worlds, but you haven't died.

Lost in the chaos of it, should you sound the alarm?
No, you will just wait, what could be the harm?

This new faster, warped speed, ages us quicker,
We have less patience, society becomes stricter.

Like being sentenced, to a life, all alone,
You face each day, with no one to phone.

It seems the conclusion, is getting near,
I love you dearly, just to be clear.

I agree my friend.
"This new faster, warped speed, ages us quicker,
We have less patience, society becomes stricter."
The above lines can corner us. We must find the quiet path and seek peace. Powerful and worthwhile poetry shared my friend.

i am currently writing to you from a state of limbo. really liked this poem we start with an extreme zoom out - the syzygy of the earth and sun, and zoom in closer and closer until we see one man and his struggle with death. it takes the reader on a grand journey through the stars and then into the private space of our persona . riveting work

I hope your enjoying "limbo" or making the best of it. I will say this again, I liked everything about you before, hope you realize how many people love you here.

You bring this to vivid life. Excellent.

Beautiful poetry Danny. The couplet format works very well with this composition. Wishing you a very happy new year.

Loving this conceptualisation of being and existence. I once marked my spot, triangulating with a couple of tall buildings and rolling clouds…. It was too dizzying to keep up for long. I decided then to find out better ways to enjoy the ride. Keep this posted up, no like or fave buttons on this site! 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you, for that, I wrote it a while back and have thought that's the way the universe operates for a long time.
