First Sight And Second Sight Insight Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

First Sight And Second Sight Insight



Conjugation favoured few folk find
feels inspiration words can’t even try
to pin down, predefine, or qualify,
limit, understate or question why,
scorn karma as coincidence or lie.
One birth, on earth so little time assigned,
united eyes whose energies unwind,
leapt links synaptic, instantly defy
Time itself, let souls electrify.

Before vague interferences twist mind,
distort perceptions caught, one ought to try
to focus clearly, spirit satisfy,
sharing impressions which should never die
while magic taps into soul’s spring to bind
affections karmic, cosmic, underlined
feeling parents e'er identify
with Jericho's walls fallen, joy supply.

Age differences dissolved, fears undermined.
That first glance opened understanding. Blind
before ‘one’ must have been, parental tie
from gravity released, no low, no high,
as everywhere twinned spirits teamed, naught awry.
Base substance shed, trite trammels left behind,
We walked on air, all purer felt, refined,
senses swam, consumed, reborn, we/I
complete, broke surface, joy none quantify.

Love's message all embraced and somehow signed
dimensions new whose rainbow hues deny
time and space, displace doubts, multiply
empathy, empowering wings to fly.
Magnified magnficence might find
its place in all, for all was redefined,
impression that itself was heightened by
acceptance shared, that nothing could deny.

That message understanding underlined.
No need for questions, no need for reply,
answers sprang spontaneous to apply
bright lining, insight to identify
the meaning of the universe, to bind
its discords into harmony aligned
as limits disappeared, sight cleared, thereby
abolishing all need to feed 'how? why? '

Like lightning current passed. Two intertwined,
upwards spiralled seven heavens high,
each could discover, reach, personify
both peace, release, within a soul-storm’s eye.
Within this ‘vortext’ top-like spun some kind
of symphony, enchantment predefined,
responding, permeating all, as “my”
no sense retained, swept out by inner eye.

We weightless whirled while everything combined
in all, through all, dimensions, instant tie.
Past, mirage pale, shed to transmogrify
emotions' surges, sudden signify
end to beginnings. Soul to soul could bind,
race, face much more than base touch, leave behind
waste walls, taste joys which logic strict defy.
Apart from all, yet part of all felt I!

It seemed imagination, much maligned,
by most as tinted outpost for a lie,
was in true colours seen as empty sigh,
a monochrome excuse or alibi
compared with glory storybook devined
that far outshines words' narrow worlds purblind.
Enlightenment at last could testify
to well-spring wonder's spell swell, never dry.

Love shared intense impressions counter-signed
by marvelment, as interactive high
engraved emotions, inklings, on the fly,
Rhyme’s splendour fans reflections, spans earth, sky,
touched, as it were, by karma to unwind
in every thought and everything, shared mind.
Past perceptions alter for the best
life's reach as angels teach. Pen comes to rest.
