Poem Artwork


The reel of reality unfolds
Riding the real I see what it holds
When as it is unfolding to me
Becoming what is not yet coming
To be like an image on a screen
Holding unfolding reality
Coming attractions become between
The rising and the falling away
Of tomorrow becoming today

I too become as I come to be
On the reel where going is coming
Between what is and is not yet real
At what is and is not yet to see
By becoming my overcoming
At the edge of now with open eyes
On the horizon to see the prize
Who declare myself there to be free
Of what has been because it was then

When what is not yet is then again
Yet another chance to ride the reel

Life can be likened to to a movie, a reality show with a reel that is unending, until, of course, the end.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
