Daguerreotype days, sepia-toned and wistful scenes: scenarios surreal in nature, clouded, azure hillocks rolling gently horizon-ward.
Her eyes reward perception with love, emanating breath-wise; ascending, spiral-centered, tube-torus’d and phi-ratio’d golden sections.
In you, there is me. We are One beyond sensation, beyond illusions of separation, an endless void permeated by consciousness.
We are Islands of self-delusion flocking south for the soul’s winter, unconsciously obeying Demiurge’s declination of our final destination, determined by genetic predisposition.
Railing ceaselessly against destiny’s draw, the cards fall where they will, human will but a straw house buckling against the fulsome typhoon of God’s karmic breath.
Peace lies beyond the waves, over the horizon multi-hued by colors beyond conception, depths beyond perception, heights beyond the inception of life lived past self-deception.
In me, there is you. We are two, beyond what is only true , dichotomous existence being but a clue as to the scope of rising hope, in the form of scintillating isotopes soaked in colloidal cultures, saturated by sin.
Digital depictions distance us from the din of day’s transition to night, the soulful cry of the moon’s delight, upon rising by divine right, a sublime sight indeed, casting ivory-hued rays over landscapes beyond day’s reach.
Her eyes deny the lies, at their very essence contrived, mere sties occluding sight that belies what is soul-felt and eternally right, that is, the omnificent and preternatural might, coexistent with love expressed at the Speed of Light.

You capture the journey so well, and I am sent spiral centered, reeling, no longer feeling, just there...as quick as thought, faster than the speed of light, I find myself.....here and now.

Beautifuuly crafted journey...the visual effect is moving...the spiritual effect disturbingly familiar. Enjoyed this write immensely. May you find many wonderous things beneath Her surface in the coming year,
Spellbinding, mind warping, and beautiful. Sometimes reading you is like trying to capture energy. It only flows when you are still and your heart is open, to receive these pearls of knowledge ~and even still I must go back and read it again.

Our days on Earth moving so fast, the Speed of Light. People are weak, metaphorically like straw houses. The power of Goddess/God blows over and humans are wasted. Daguerreotype photographs I hope are at least preserved. These artistic photos hold mystique and the colors of yesteryear. To stop for awhile and look at it all. Few ever see those ivory-hued rays because they are looking for photographic cataracts, those dark films through negative eyes. I rewind Speed of Light and now read it in slow mo. I read this with 20/20 mind. Mark, good job!
this started out great, then i lost the concept somewhere in the middle and then it ended great, but i lost the idea of the whole poem before i read it all. i think it is so very well written i'm sure the promblem is with me
Finally, the commentary that adds even more to the diagramed version of The Easy Study Bible. Follow the diagramed verses of this new clear translation with a verse by verse commentary. Understand even better the New Testament book of Philippians.

Are you still angry at God for having lost a loved one due to sickness or unexpected circumstances? This book will give you a better understanding of death, God’s role in it, and what decision is before each of us that would allow us to see them agai
