"This is the art of creating
Who I am in tomorrow's grasp"
Yes I hope that we are as Joseph says
artists of our own future.
Great work as always!

Dear Ace,
Life's current propels us ever forward yet we are the Artists of our own future, creating wonders in the present moment that become a bridge accross the waters and a light for our path ahead.
All I need is to respond/To what I already have answered to- I think this is a great description of the urge to create. At first glance it seems like a humorous redundancy, but looking closer it is a wise statement.
What I Am Tomorrows Grasp,i.e. Your Just Rewards Are Not Of This World!
Good You We Create Along Way Of Life Can Only Reflect What's Good Left In Of Humanity,i.e. (God) Doesn't Really Care-It Is Up Too Me As You To Create That What's Left Of Any Good In This Evil World!
... In a poem last year I wrote about a bleached-out Undertaker who said of his work: "It's not life, but it's a living"... and you would seem to show us here the inverse of that sentiment, how the alternative planes of our existance are what's important, and how they are shaped alongside the day-to-day outward manifestations of the daily grind.
I am thinking along the lines of your recent Converging Currents write: as the child, so the man, because, spiritually speaking, he is one and the same. You perhaps illustrate here what it means to incubate your dreams and to subsequently bend the molecular structure of your "real" life around them, grasping ahold of their significant contours so as to develop the structure of your mind and soul... I have been taking notes! :)) A very similar concept to what you say about poetry on your Biog page, and about the poet who gestates them...
Seems to me your blue-collar hands are in the process of engineering and building train bridges... axes between one life and the next, the now and the not-yet, although intrinsically all one thing.
As an aside, I am really struck by the couplet: "It will be born Already grown"... But of course! Makes me think of Peter Pan somehow... When I was young, I could never understand why adults used the tale of PP to demonstrate a supposed unreality and a denial of grown-up "truth". To me, Peter Pan was ALWAYS the perfectly-formed personality in the story, fully "grown-up" in his way... It was Wendy who was still the child "playing at house and mummies and daddies".
One of your accomplished bests, Jude... It has to be; it is your modus operandi and vivendi. LOL K xx

You have reached for and grasped firmly what is often out of reach for most of us who seek it -pure truth. John Keats said in his "Ode To A Grecian Urn":
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty"---that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."
That fact is well exemplified here in this gorgeous piece.

Jude:
All I need is to set into motion
What is already conceived
An excellent image here Jude. The gift's of wisdom and creative insight are never doled out randomly. There is rhyme and reason why people are who they are. One must desire special gifts above all else, and then struggle diligently against (at times) overwhelming odds to seize the prize.
The wine of your creativity is always a pleasure to sip. Blessings fellow sojourner ...
The mysteries of tomorrow is for us to ponder and for it to happen, that's for we see the weatherman everyday "what it will be tomorrow?" think, if we could get the real answer? still will be it a barrel of fun waiting for tomorrow?
Tomorrow's grasp is a pain, better to make our own.
Nice done.
Georg
It must be very satisfying to know what you know, and be able to express it in such a unique way. Your gifted mind only improves with age;-)I'd say you are responding superbly, Sir Jude!
Awesome I truly do believe your success for the future is
Already there all you need is to respond!!
Outstanding poetic view of thoughts!
Love And Peace To You Always..Morning Star
You could say you are holding your successful future in your hands and soon.....and soon.....will become reality. Wonderful write.
Be safe,

Amber, Malachite, Moss Agate, Citrine, Peridot, Jade, blue topaz, all stones of abundance and growth, wisdom deep. You've covered it all without the stones.
It is hard to follow Sage. She uses up all the good words.
So evocative of a Clay Dream...tempered of feldspar substance, the blueprint of the design already molded in mind...height at its peak, 5'11" hair centuries long-grown, conditioned by sun and combed by wind, eyes built into shades of design...earthdiver emerges from the primeval waters to retrieve soil to build the Culture Hero to assist human beings in their primeval struggles by bringing them daylight, fire, water, air, earth, and spirit, protecting our lands from energy companies, The Red Road, the Indian way, the path of connecting past and future, a road that is sacred, a road all people can walk Tomorrow's Grasp...I see Tomorrow's Grasp standing tall, as a Creation myth built full-grown by design by a Cherokee potter, "created by soiled hands and flexible thoughts..."
Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.
Perhaps "..Quiet Storm" will help rekindle old flames buried and long forgotten or express the love so deeply locked inside of your soul longing to be released.
Regardless of where you may be found in love this beautiful masterpiece can be
