Squaring Circles

Poem Artwork

 

Squaring Circles

rhythmic saturation
beat banging
edge ringing
bells imploding
microbial dithering
extremes of the tick tock
dickory dock
reminding the alive
who needs a clock

 

to listen
is to hear

with all the senses

 

 tissue stretched
bumpety bump
blood surging
muscles of the mind
stretching synaptic melodies
ripening the melancholy fruit
swaying the anxious limbs
engorging the reticent vines

 

 the season's harmony

tis a symphony of the age
finding infinite movements
awash in ethereal seduction
needs awaiting their harvest
pulsation of the unknown
opening veins of return
the flow reminding
circles never cease
rings have no end
no beginning
they
like us
just
are

 

yet


even as nature patiently waits

 try we will

to square

the beat
the pulse
to make sense of

life and death

 

Many may deny Be Here Now, but…

 

how anxious we are to control
the strokes that afford insight into

the endless circuitous nature

of existence

that is

being here now

I think you are on to something. Very few people are actually "here now", lost instead in the labytinth of their thoughts trying to find a way out.

Surging, swaying, rhythm and rhyme......oh, yes! "being her now"! So good, Odin!

Love ya!
