Powerful poem Jude...
..."people are searching for love
as love goes unnoticed"... Too true, sadly....

Weirdly remarkable.

Ron

Very beautiful done!
Love and Peace, B&R

good one

A superb study of contrasts. An almost oxymoronic series of statements that cause the reader to pause and contemplate. I enjoyed the reading.

even if I don't grasp your every meaning, this is just beautiful to read. life is growing though, isn't it, even in the midst of all this death and decay... Dawn

I can't think air and water tonight... it has to be earth and fire for some reason; blood and gore. My metaphysical antennae are somehow in meltdown and this strikes me as all too visceral and accords with my heavy feet of clay. This feels as if I'm gazing through smoke-glass and blackened windows. Very weird. Reminds me, too, of the torture of sleep deprivation. I must have been on the cheese... But, scanning down, I have to say I am totally rocked by Sage's input. Zing-a-ling... "The reactive mind works wholly on two-value logic": life or death. Bingo! That's it! Choose life! I've too many tentacles of death round me throat today, squeezing down me positive choices. Perhaps something of this impasse is reflected in your imagery: the frustration of the now and not yet; the having and having not; the near and yet so far; life bent on its own destruction to achieve its ends. In short, madness. For sensory beings we sure seem to have been stripped of all our senses... or, at least, been made insensible. Sad demise indeed, but there are those who will overcome, I'm sure.

Out of darkness comes the light as out of death comes life. This is a time, before the world's rebirth, to stay vigilent. Well done Ace.

Love, Light & Peace,

This one has so many alluring and beautiful visuals well expressed I enjoyed reading your words come a live.

Love the reflecting mood you have used in this write.

Very powerful and vibrant images with effective interspersing of what is and what is becoming while death recycles life...

Jude, This is a wower of a metaphysical pen. Your depth is extraordinary and your wisdom dances .

It does seem sometimes like we are walking in a bizarre dream, hoping that it is just that, and we will soon awaken in the Eden state.

Good one Jude ...

Your profound spiritual base is evident in this metaphysical composition

Peter

So many excellant lines and stark reality images combine and blend here to create this awesome piece. As always you leave your reader thinking which is always a good thing.

Life is a metaphor for in death there is life and in life there is death but the spirit lives on.

Prophetic-sounding piece of well-written poetry, Jude, very well indeed.

Excellent thought provoking write!!

Love Tinka

Striking metaphorical composition that is exceedingly creative. Much enjoyed. Panda :)

Taps into invisible forces & quiet energies perfectly, kq.

Hence, the theories of lifeforce is formulated. Death of its own demise is with purpose and persistency. Pleasure is a vitally important factor in that lifeforce is considerably enhanced by pleasure, love, growth in which recharges new activity. Creative and constructive endeavor, the overcoming of obstacles toward some goal combine to recharge lifeforce. The reactive mind acts Wholly on two-value logic. Things are life or they are death. The friends, the allies mean Life! The enemies mean Death. There is no middle ground. Whoever is a friend is to be clasped to the bosom. Anything powerful enough to twist the blueprint and keep the body from developing or keep it from growing is death of its own demise. Powerful thinking powers and free life energy, Jude.
