Poem Mortal Song - March 2013

 

3/25/13

 

Running, racing, pacing

 

The floor

 

Searching, seeking, now tweeting

 

For something more

 

The world of man in all its glory

 

All of life…The master story

 

Told retold passed down, passed on, passed over.

 

The world of beauty

 

In each blossom, swell and breeze

 

With ease….we sit and sink our soles in the sand

 

Our souls are in each others hands

 

The spirit we command to serve us well

 

To save us from our imagined hell.

 

That which we don’t understand.

 

Deeper in, higher up the scale, the continu..ommmmmm

 

Why these minds, these lobes, we probe, creating these illusions

 

Of  grander…of strangers, of separation and solitude and sin.

 

As if we could be separate as we orbit and spin

 

Lose, no we win….and gain…the recognition of our name.

 

Stay in, burst out…laugh, love, shout, what is this world of man all about?

 

The self imposed, self absorbed, self defeat of something more.

 

Or less…how much was that dress, I confess…I want more, not less

 

A foot in this world, the other unknown

 

I sing the song of a mortal

 

In my simple, single poem.
