Beginning Another End
by Odin Roark


Movement began.

Wanting
fell downward as ripened fruit.
I trembled.

Choices
surged into beginnings.
I prepared.

Voices
announced the moment.
I heard.

Hands
urged an unborn stillness.
I moved.

Birth
won over death.
I lived.

Time
began hesitant movements.
I traveled.

Age
produced archives.
I accepted.

End
paused its movement.
I waited…

An interesting sequence of events. Like un-Americanized haikus. Enjoyed these. Peace to you...

I'm sorry, but since I come from a scientific background, I don't see the connection between the creation of atoms in the Big Bang and the explosion of large stars, followed by the processes creating molecules and your poem. However, people with a more spiritual and/or literary background below seem to understand better than I what you are driving at with these eclectic phrases.

It has been postulated that life forms could possibly be based on silicon (like semiconductors) rather than carbon like we are. Therefore, the long worried about idea of AI (there is nothing artificial about intelligence) in science fiction writing may actually be possible.

well, as an advanced practitioner of the Taiji-quan sparring he moves slowly when the opponent's movements are slow to be always a step ahead when the opponent's movement becomes faster. . . at this, his atoms penetrate into the opponent's cells to follow consciously his cadence until the opponent finds himself on the edge of the abyss to push him into it with a slight touch. . . what is it? Is it a strategy, a mastery called 'gong-fu' or a practical philosophy? All together it works properly, my friends, all together. . . . Cheers, alex

In a purpose driven universe this cycle is on an inclined plane leading to greater ventures and more elevated expectations. Or so it would seem if we are to get out of an endless loop of dilemmas, enigmas, and paradoxes.

I love its simplicity, its power, its prescience. Wonderfully conceived, remarkably executed. . . (aahhhh) right down to the end. John

I particularly liked the stanza , age.followed by end. With very little you have said a lot. Time seems to go at different speeds depending on what is going on !
