She Shimmered

It will be woman that changes the world I think...

1950...

 

Cars were small

Buildings were small

The planet was small

But most of all, the hearts and minds of men were small

 

2011...

 

A baby girl is born on a roundabout, near a clock tower, in Great Britain

Her brain was on the outside and different enough

To keep rhythm with her oversized heart, bleeding hope

She shimmered as she grew and things evolved

 

2036...

 

Cars were large

Buildings were large

The planet was large

And the hearts and minds of men were large

 

She didn't have to convince anyone to evolve

She simply opened her mouth and flowers grew

She simply waved her hand and lovers embraced

She shimmered and the universe answered

I aint gonna argue, because its a no brainer innit.... give yerself a pat on the back my friend.. this is not only brilliant and quite unique.. it is of course most probably absolutely spot on.... Neville

prescriptive
predictive
capturing shifting perceptions
perhaps prophetic
decidedly progressive
positively poetic
i've probably taken this alliteration too far
but i'm a sucker for premonition
and a good glimpse into the future
here's hoping the pendulum finds a steady middle ground
nice piece

Lol...thanks I really appreciate it. You have made my day!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

men seem to be learning....not quickly enough...but there is no shimmer without them....
big cars, planets, buildings and egos...will all be busted down to miniature without women...

I believe that some women just have the ability to mix compassion and a sort of grounding into the mix of perceived reality. My bet is on them to be last survivors when it comes right down to it. Thanks for all the reviews man, I appreciate it!!

I always knew you were a romantic.
Simple beauty that makes life a little better just by being.

[Crowley]

Hopelessly a romantic for sure. Emotional little b***h if you ask my wife...lol. Thanks Cherrie!

[Cherrie Palmer]

[Crowley]
