A Galaxy Of One

User Rating:

9.9 /10
(7 votes)



  Could be that the true soul
Is stretched tautly thin
Throughout the hidden world-
Thinner than a quark crepe,
Floating atop quark soup
Absorbing and processing the very things
Which engineer our reveries
What if we could experience
Every possible lifetime
That imagination might fancy
From birth to death; to live, to love,
To fling ourselves into
Every conceivable venue
With only a touch of deja-vu
Now and then, to betray it-
The beady darkness teems
With myriad uncharted voyages
From you, the single port of entrance
For the legion of intrepid children souls:
Wanderers breathed into life
By one travelers existence.

This is the first poem of Patricia's that I have read.

I find that this poem is that kind of poem one would want in a book of poems. It is like a fine truffle in a box of truffles, you enjoy it so much as you consume it.

I like the way you mind works, Patricia.

Thanks.

From the beguiling title to the closing line, this poem casts a fresh eye on the the philosophies of life, and all with innovative approach of an accomplished poet. I especially like; 'The beady darkness teems/With myriad uncharted voyages/
From you, the single port of entrance...' - beautiful! S :)

stretched thin as quark crepe...with only a hint of deja vu to betray the myriad of life spans...deep and high thoughts...
