(if everything is near...)

A touch of the exotic
brought by a caravan
from a desert filled
with our refreshing dreams

Step by step
the physicality
disappearing in time
while emerges the mirage
of a wireless world
undone

Shrinking space
of timeless availability
- if we have it all
what do we desire? -

Iridescent silk, salt
and spices
                   of life
carried by camels
step by step
         at slow pace
evanesce in quantum leaps
- today's insipid environment
                   appears -

If this is a smaller world
what is left for us to conquer?

If everything is here
where is away?

Stunning use of images, questions... and ultimately meaning.
You have a gift, my lady.
Isn't there more of a bio you can offer?

Even within the desert sands there is that same question of where...you place those simple questions within a poem and they seem like the elusive answers to all the worlds problems...

if we have it all
what do we desire?

Just these words can fill the mind with a process of turmoil catching one off gaurd and sending that mind weary imagination into a spin of chasing solutions...

nice...

very nice Axilea...

thought provoking!
I especially loved the second and third stanzas... okay, the fourth one too...
You managed to draw the slower paced time of a truly "wireless" age with your words.

Thought provoking for me. How does one get away these days. I would have to pack up too many conveniences and then would I really be getting away? Powerful, profound write. Liz

Aixilea - Powerful poem - strong and effective images as always -

liked the intriguing question;

- if we have it all
what do we desire? -

and the paradox of:

If everything is here
where is away?

What a unique and interesting question, Axilea!
You have such an 'in-depth' poetic 7th sense about you.

Wow. If such a caravan could come, bringing bottles of dreams... who cares how much it cost. I read somewhere that spices from the Indies were worth more than a hull full of gold. Could you imagine if you could sprinkle a little in your morning poridge-- over a deli sandwhich-- stir it into gravy-- see for a few hours the old rich shades of earthy colours replacing the plastic cut-and-dried shades we package everything with today...?

So true that we've traded the beauty of waiting-- the virtue of patience for packaged NOW. Anticipation is a wonderful thing, but it's becoming scarce.

You bring the truth out beautifully as always, Axilea. Good work.
