Perhaps our thoughts aren't all we think when we're alone in quite
Becoming the way we comprehend as more than thought aspires
Because our lives are filled with essence of many a various thing
Cast upon the mortal realm in visions from words of our making
Our ears they hear, our eyes they see, our flesh is wrapped in receptors
To examine the all around to determine our discomforts or pleasures
Creating memories in our beings to unfold through out our lives
Promoting some to herald favor relinguishing others as unwise
Learning growth, a time honored tradition, is made of many moments
Sifting, sorting, melding, meshing a million living components
That operates us as a guide in each every day as we live
Teaching, forgiving, relearning, applying the betterment we have to give
As an offering from our learning appeasing our want for improvement
Keeping the standards of quality we expect of our selves in our movements
As one day our taste is different than our tastes from days ago
Depending the measures of our tastings that over a time were moulded
Without the having to give up one flavor to promote another
Unleashing various combinations to how well they blend together
So is our lives as from the beginning we're exposed to atmospheres
Of collective aliveness between the people around us and the years
That crafted our learning, one way or another, our attempt at life's doings
Gaining our knowledges as we experience the productions of using
Our gathering moments from all that is taken in on a single day
Layered on layers by others who lived before us in some way
Instructing, affecting, defining, relaying our living beings to be
Something to sculpt into an existence where choice was there to see
How folding away an unwanted trait that you knew caused grief
Became instead a donation of doings for your self and others relief
Rescuing time from the wasteful unwanted, instilling a good to become
A daily memory to the very life you would later see had begun
Years before when resting you learned how calming the self grew
In the conception of building a person who thoroughly welcomed review
To change with the needed circumstance, enviroments and visions
Unfolding before the eyes which once were limited by divisions
In choosing a side, this one or that, in choosing a good or a bad
By other's who don't understand that decision is an inclusion that had
Transpiring influences multipling within you without their consideration
Forming the venues you had decided were worth your dedications
To further your learning, your thinking, creating a writing you found worth
In bettering living in times worth giving your hands to write this verse
Onto this page where the transcriber found time to sit and think
How life becomes in numerous forms a living breathing being
Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
A people’s heart can be found in their poetic words. In history men and women have stood firmly upon their soapboxes and street corners, rallying the deepest beliefs of people to rise up and be heard. The poetrypages.com has offered that voice a new
