* Life Time Transformations

Rating: 5.0


so many mist images
within dominant themes
flow through life lives

the flowing river
like life
with horizons
diverse distant

mystical
geometrical
merging
horizon sky

deeps of life
mystery mysteries
as deep as oceans
life as surface realities

far shores
waves
traverse oceans
which rocks

embrace to reassure
test determination
mind muscled limbs
depart upon journeys

vessels
are often filled
with only that
which is sought

measure realm
earth or water
we may dive through
water physically

accept in experience
accept as meditation
test embodied
in storm swim

or manipulate
as technological
control
harnessed

exploited
abused
or converted
to new

levels of balance
or concepts of usage
all of which may
have unexpected outcomes

in transformation
transformation is manifest
seasonal
or life shattering

but
transformation
always
life renewal seeks

the warmth
of earth
bird flight
dreams

after darkness
passes
comes
new days

new experiences
and time
which changes
all things

but in time
streams
diversity
dissimilar

sow a poet
engaging
soul images
in spirit journeys

mind concepts
continue
the journey
feel

the earth
air wind
water
warmth

light
light breaking
through storm
clouds fading

I love this poem! Great food for thought, thank you! As much harm as we may do to dear earth and own life, I think transformations may always tend to develop on both sides, good and bad and I think each, sooner or later, may swich with the other side. Is it our choice of what side to join or is it only the effort to swim at the surface that matters? The breathe that we take consciously aware that we are alive and aware of our suroundings? Your pen taught again how to get through the clouds, thank you!

I guess this was one of those poem I lost in the mists of time, written in December 2010 on the 6.12.2010. I have only just found a few lost poems from 2010 and will hopefully find time to read and perhaps post a few more if I can get back into them, but I have several recent poems also requiring final proofing or simply reading and posting. Time keeps running away.
