my love's lost in time's immeasurable mist yearning for clarity in subtlety abased by words spoken unremarked upon and lost flailing within the infinitude of human existence
what can be said that hasn't been said before the joy in repetition an indulgence in self-pity a longing for recognition for the acknowledgement of difference
as if any one of us is any different from any other in any way
my hope's found in the realization that beneath the veil and beyond the dark curtain lies anonymity and the soothing comfort of sameness is the acknowledgement of that very eternity we fled before realizing that
it is our destiny to be sacrificed upon the alter of love lost
it is our destiny to be shredded beneath the eagle's claws to be returned to the sea of beginnings to be born upon the cresting tide of evolutionary awareness
love lost hope found in every moment's recognition of impending death for what lies beyond consciousness waiting for us all in ever-present and continuous ripples of tide-like wonder is the answer to all questions and the realization that we've always known the end of the story after all
Powerful and inspiring write! To me, this was the strongest stanza - I feel many can relate ...
"... it is our destiny
to be sacrificed upon
the alter of love
lost ..."
Another outstanding poignant write, Mark!
God bless,
Sandie.

Amen to that! Saw a PBS program about DNA and tracing our ancestors. We are all out of Africa, in different stages. Travel broadens thought and horizons.
This is really Mark; as others have said before me, Outstanding! This flows, developes in change smoothly, is powerful in descriptiveness and projected feeling. This is one to come back to and enjoy again. BRAVO!
A penetrating write on the sense of isolation that paradoxically permeates the human condition in this world of billions. I suppose that's a major part of story we have to live before reaching that page at "the end of the story." Enjoyed this very much.

Mark This is so inspiring and so beautiful. So much wisdom in this poem, Thank you. I will keep this one to always remind myself.
This is Absolutely Beautiful
Very nice! I always have to pick a favorite line to keep with me. In this one it is this: and continuous ripples of
tide-like wonder is the answer - I think often about how important it is to keep wondering and searching. Without that, I don't think anyone can grow to full potential, and bear the lost loves.
"Welllll, yes, Lord"...*imagine the old church mother singing here* :-)
And I mean old, really old and haggard. That's how I'm feeling about now, but in a resigned and growing sort of way. ;-)

In today’s secular environment the two worlds of science and spirituality are alien worlds, distinguished primarily by a deep-seated antagonism in which the principles of spirituality and the pragmatism of modern science exist face to face in a peren
Our culture has taught us to believe in many ideas which aren't actually real. Exposing these illusions allows us to recover the power to live our lives according to our deepest desires.

I believe that's definitely true, Mark.
