Corners, Kinks and Curves
C.
“Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.”
― O. Henry, The Gift of the Magi
O. Henry's classic quote came to mind as I mulled over my hub's title. Corners, kinks and curves seem to populate most of our lives: - emotionally, mentally and even physically at times. Perhaps we do have our choices of which predominates!
Hoop-la
Barriers - dissolve,
Vanish - space,
Banish, time.
Rhyme of life, evolve.
Revolve, profane and sacred, resolved.
Defining consciousness
By polar light -
Now day, now night,
The left, the right
Of universal love.
Inescapable,
Incapable
Of any final will
When Life, primeval
Always takes another turn.

Inner springs
Absorb the shock
And give it bounce.

Breath of life
Come gently now
Rock me to the rhythm
Of the spheres
Subdue all panic
Dry all tears
Fatten out the years!
The moment
Has arrived
For which I'm promised
And prepared.

I've within ~
A trine of fire ~
Desire
To be
Beginning.
A departure,
Aperture
Of one who is myself
In someone else's skin
Does not occur.
Soul unites within.
No separation
For eternity,
Will begin.
There is no problem.

Differences in travel speeds
Are infinitesimal;
Even those in flying jet
And sitting still are slight.
We travel on our planet ship
Around our star, our sun,
In its system, whirling
On the outskirts of our galaxy
In its universe moving, swelling,
Shrinking, breathing with its plan;
Knowing not where, why nor how fast.
So, even sitting still, I move.

The weight you carry
On your shoulders
Is the ransom due
On life.
I wonder who
Collects it.

I’ve no need
To defend
That whose being
Is its own defense,
Nor desire
To defend
The indefensible.

i know no other way to be
But me.
If I say you're special,
Please know ~
It is because you are.

I watch an earthworm fly
When I
Become aware of sky
And see
The relativity.
Nor do I care
Where
I am found in it.
It is.
I am.
And that’s profound enough
For me to live and be.
My tears are ecstasy!

Clear the stage;
The play begins.
