Unframed Masterpiece
by Odin Roark
How we vacillate
Adorning our history with importance
For fear of forgetting
Some by carved accents
Surrounding the nostalgia
With rutted defense
Carefully worn potholes
Of caution
Others enclosed of smooth metal
Retrospect slick and precarious
Duly noted as future avoidance
The priceless acquisitions
Experiences no one else
Can possibly ascribe importance to
Become encased in nothing
Attachments set free
Their mission accomplished
Leaving behind nary a void
But the non-framing
Of oneness
Might the quintessential remembrance be
We are but part of
An open landscape
Needing neither enclosure
Or property line
Belonging only to existence
The unframed masterpiece?

Your poem reminds me of why I wrote The Kaleidoscope Effect. We are but just another interesting, but very violent, little intelligence to those who would travel between stars.

I do too, and when I look deep into nature or up into the heavens, the reminder seems very clear.
that we have formed around us,
and we don't need any fence or
any frames to set us in place.
We are free
to roam,
to feel,
to explore the unknown,
and to accept what is known to us.
