To Walk On Water

by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen — Read all 1,670 poems by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen

Saturday, February 16, 2008

We used to be able
To walk on rubble,
Now, it trips us up.

We used to be able
To walk on the moon,
‘Till, it gave us up.

We used to be able
To talk to just one.
How, now? Divvied up.

(Maybe Humanity become
Worn out husks of age
Because that’s God,
Gathering information.)

We might be able
To walk on water.
How? It trips me up.

We might be able
To walk on comets,
If we don’t give up.

We might be able
To talk to the One,
Now divvying us up.

(I don’t believe there’s
A final ending to cognizance,
Because, that’s God,
Again, gathering information.)

Excellent vision! I like the line,
'Again, gathering information' Whoa! ;)

"Think" that its' not divvied up with conviction and it will become that way. Something cannot be divvied up and keep its' exact unique meaning between the unique people that spoke it. Diversity,what makes us better, can only be lost, if it is there to start, by the will of people. To lose it you yourself have to give up the meaning-there is no such thing as ubiquitious meaning-it become incoherent when when it is refered to anything but the actual parties in the communicatons. Language doesnt have absolute abstraction-it refers to specifics of action and environmental meaning. One, in accepting a general meaning, divvying up, denigrates himself in repressing his differences from others. We can talk about aspects of his all day, are capable of giving redundant meaning and lending our time to it, when by the nature of existence certain thinga can have only one meaning and there is nothing to say about it. Scientists do this also in science and it is the habits of society and not logical thinking and experiment that are the only truth to history, its courses or the course of science-like playing with the belly button to make an intellectual space for conjecture from inherent fact.
One does not have to go along with that, not to let others take meaning from you, is a simple mental motion though it can be a blow to ones notion of idealism how the wrong can be in a majority.

Thought provoking, Erin - I don't think He's divvying us up, I think we make the choice, ourselves, to follow or not. Well penned!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Nobody can walk on water BUT Him. I've tried, nope! Sink straight down! In fact, I've taken swimming lessons three times, STILL can't float! LOL Very well penned, Erin; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

I agree "There IS no final cognizance." Tis His job and pleasure.

God bless you. Kathy
