Above Me All

Poem Artwork

Coming up against the stone wall,

I have suddenly found myself

Blessed by Mother Nature

And allowed at last to realize

That I am a grain of sand which,

Being enticed by my own inertness,

Settled down on the bed

Of the Lake of Inaction.

 
From there I keep my protruding eyes

On what is silently drifting

Above my bottom shelter

Without regular defences,

And an endless train of notions

And second thoughts that, I am sure,
 
Does not stand any more
 
Between me and Creation
 
Thrived all over my stingray-like body 

And my electrified mind.

Now I wonder what this "being" might be. Intriguing to speculate. John
