Sending the inner child to school. Hm, the question is, with "new" ideas -- are they really new? Or do they only resonate? Do they only articulate what one is already receptive to, already "knows," if subconsciously. Theft, or no theft? That is the question. And no, I do not mean dragon. You'll see.
Stealing the Romance From the Sky
Oh, but he was only doing his job.
Colors were a spectrum,
numerical, measurable.
Constellations went from
pictures to physics.
The music of the spheres
was gravitational pull.
There was helium, there was dust. Stars I wished upon were dead.
I proved poor in astronomy
only out of protest. And she was just being a friend, saying that all was chemistry: friendship, love, passion,
which way to cook an egg, dreams of future, dragoon of past -- never choice, but instinct: lust for pleasure,avoidance of pain, synaptic fires in the brain.
A little bit of knowledge
can be quite the ponder
a calculus of black hole
where once there was wonder.
Stripping soul and heart here to reflect on past in order to march into the future or that is how my own heart and soul reacted to it as I read. Either way nicely done indeed Julia. Good to see you posting again.

That's why we must continue into that black hole, from which there is no escape. See how things are when we emerge on the other side. Probably a wise piece of spaghetti would be my guess.
Yes too much knowledge, at least that we call it, is like shaving the apple to the core, and what is, that is left, is a pile of peelings, no more apple to wonder about the insides of, and to look at in its beauty as a whole. Now a thought, if God as (they) claim knows everything, can you immagine how bored he must be? It's a terrible thing you're going through, don't thing that innocense can ever be retrieved that wonder, that mysterious of all the,,, but then there is always more to look at Julie, Hugs!

This is a book of free verse poetry that addresses the seven main tests in life and offers some sensible solutions to passing those tests with minimal discomfort.
Welcome!
The poems in this beautifully bound book are a result of over twenty years of observations. Observations of the world around us and on the telecommunications network. All of the hate, love, heroism, disasters, and those who help.
