Poem Artwork

Thick twilight leaps
Into the dead of night.
What did you expect?
Another daybreak straight?
Right. Nothing is unbreakable.

All things are creeping round
Making circles and cycles,
From the dust here to dust there --
A perishable transformation
Of one thing into its opposition
To melt again and to escape
From the square walls of jail,
Turning oneself from the humus
Into the springtime blooming.

Yes, life as it is, a closed chain
Of transformations which
Send me regularly the points
Of my ultimate destination.
I comprehend the events' chain,
Composing my poems and verses,
Linking them tightly into the nets
And leaving the loose ends for escape.

Having connected them all
Into a solid network, I catch from
The ocean of opportunities and fails
My loves and woes that make the content
Of the world we linger in. What can we do
If there's nothing else? . . So long as
We are bestowed on with our corporal bodies,
All what we have to do is to compose good wording.

What a question you pose in that last stanza! Don't we all wonder the same. As Al Green, now the Reverand Al Green, says, "You got to keep on keepin' on.". Loved this!

Love ya!

It is only natural for us to think of life as a closed loop because our ecosystem is working very well without us. We may be upsetting the apple cart without even knowing it. But you are writing about your life and how it is going. To my mind with this poem you are setting it on course.

An interesting piece about the art (and the challenge) of writing right up until the end when you say: "All what we have to do it to compose good wording." Actually, that's a pretty tall order. when I sit down to write a poem with some fledgling idea, I always ask myself: Can I do this? The answer: sometimes yes and sometimes no; but the yeses produce a feeling that is glorious and incomparable.
