Free Falling the Journey

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

Dedicated to those of us believing the universe is but a mass of portals for matter to pass through. Some even have planets down there. Mmm. Delicious. “What we think, we become”. Buddha (Image by imgur)

Free Falling the Journey

 

Hidden among the shaded cosmic growth,

Rules made to be broken off the straight trail,

Wait unexpected obstacles,

As compass readings that mean something,

Portend risk.

 

Settle not for pyrrhic victory.

Seek not the programmed timetable.

Bungee jump with the passions of intellect.

Breathe deeply the sweet ether of the mind's lungs.

 

Retire the notion Life be a bitch and then you die.

Life only asks to be understood.

It knows not the ceasing of a heartbeat,

Or the void of breath.

 

For those who embrace the endless seasons,

Life remains a glorious cycle of matter's existence,

Man included.

Yes! At this stage, we are being seasoned to be able to get through the next portal, Odin. My father always said that this life is the acid test. He worked with metals for over 50 years. We are tested to make sure we are good enough for the judement. I enjoyed this a lot!

Love ya!

Jane
