 Dimensions of the Kaleidoscope

 

Like motes of dust in the morning sky,

we are but ants in the sea of space,

How petty it must seem in the Cosmo’s view,

this thing called the human race.

 

Such shallow lives we live each day,

never fully to comprehend,

The abstract truth of what really lies

around the uncharted bend.

 

There are many ways to live one’s life-

so many things in which to believe,

And yet so far, since time began,

it's ourselves that we deceive:

 

What did the Egyptians gain from their morbid art,

to make hallow of their dead,

When now we see in the unburied past

that their gods and Death have wed?

 

A googolplex is no closer to infinity

than is the number one,

Just as we are no closer to unveiling the truth,

with all the madness done.

 

Our lives with time become intertwined

with paradigms of enlightened hope;

The mosaics of thought, the cultures blend,

like dimensions of the kaleidoscope:

 

Phantasmagorical arrays of colors conflux,

like assimilations of worldly views.

The mind of man, the Artist, strives

to weed out the tainted hues.

 

But then: ‘Ignorance is bliss’ – the old adage,

no maxim is as likely true;

The events’ horizons fade to black,

with no light to guide us through.

The Sands of Time

 

What shall lay hold upon the mind of man

that it may stand and see that time commands

the past, the present, and the future ways

that man will seek in his dying days

to sum the pursuits of invented whims,

to please the gods of assorted dins?

 

And how foolish will he feel just then –

in knowing that everywhere he’s been,

that every thing he’s seen and heard,

were the lots of Spoil and Absurd?

 

For who shall remember the quiet One,

who sat and watched what came undone,

when cultures molded man’s thinking ways,

with stones of penance, myopic praise,

when the dying cried in reason’s ear,

when faith departed, caved into fear,

when the stars shined down in Omen’s name;

a life that was born for only death to claim.

And what has become from the points diverging,

to the trumpet sounds of many voices urging,

that imparts to us such complex schemes,

to manifest and evolve man’s dogged dreams?

 

And then we see through the portal’s past,

that nothing created was ever meant to last –

all that has failed were not the ‘dreams sublime’,

but the symphonies of destruction

within the Sands of Time.

Moonlight & Destiny

 

Moonlight softly illuminates

the glow of bodies' skin;

Two lovers through a meadow dance

like petals in the wind.

 

Your touch so warm, your kiss so sweet,

like that of morning dew.

Your eyes, so fine, like crystal lakes

that mirror Heaven's blue.

 

Your hand I hold, your heart I feel,

together we are one,

Pursuing dreams of reverie

in the palace of the sun.

 

The love we share is a timeless tale

of beauty in its prime,

Like the eternal roar of the ocean's rage,

exceeding sands of time.

 

For within two hearts we share one joy

of treasures wished and cast;

The days of bliss, the emerald skies,

the fond memories of the past.

 

So hand in hand we journey on

as if birds across the sea,

Forever faithful in love's flight

on the wings of destiny.

 

 

                           

                                             Nothing Lasts Forever

 

Our days on earth we try

 to find a bit of joy,

To hold within our arms,

what time cannot destroy.

 

 Like petals in the wind,

we drift from here to there,

Because nothing lasts forever,

except for what we share.

 

 And even though we hold

a dream within each heart,

It's in human nature's way

to tear it all apart.

 

 And so it is we strive

in faith to carry  on,                    

after all is said and done,

when all we've loved is gone.

 

 But if we can contain

some peace within our mind,

Our heart will surely follow,

and happiness we'll find.

 

 

 

 

              Questions

When we die, when the earth has perished,

when there’s no more sky,

when the sun has faded,

will the heartbeat of Time still carry on?

When the fish no longer swim, the birds no longer sing,

what new world will the future bring?

Will the stars shine?

Will there be a dream sublime?

What will happen to mankind?

Another planet? Another Place?

Into the farthest reaches of outer space?

Is there life elsewhere in which to procreate?

Can we transcend and sway this mortal fate?

In what dimension does God reside?

Do Heaven and Hell into realms divide?

Can science put the answers within our reach?

Are we blinded in the faith of what the religions preach?

Did life ascend from the hot and deep –

from a warm little pond of primordial seep?

So many questions, so few answers,

extrapolations made on the wings of “chancers.”

These are the questions that I contemplate deeply.


 

 On the Thresholds of  Tommorrow

 

Writing down what comes to mind

sets the spirit free

when the shady gloom of reality

merges to ennui.

To reflect upon a moment,

a thought that comes to mind,

brings together memories of

a once upon a time.

Sometimes in my reflections,

I bring about a worldly change,

a tidal force of inspiration, say,

at first it seems so strange.

I am a burning man with visions

of complex configurations,

delving deeply within myself,

resurgent aspirations.

Love is not a feeling,

it's an emotion deep within,

visual stimulations,

the mind begins to spin

into a myriad interpretations,

of love and life and death,

when every moment is precious,

and so gentle is each breath.

The dawning of the sun

brings hope to each new day;

on the thresholds of tomorrow,

old things will pass away.


 

    The Quest For Prosperity                 

 

          

Up from the ashes of primordial earth,

out of the dust dawned human kind,

what’s been discovered and thought to proceed,

all but swayed by another find.

Astute observations by of the mind of creation,

such marvels we humans are,

inspired to strive for the crowns of the master

beyond the reaches the farthest star. 

 

What can be said of the surreal dreamers

who envision the kingdoms to come,

from the palace of earth to Centauri,

to the beat of the proverbial drum.

Perhaps we can inhabit the universe,

be bred into the new theories of life,

commandeered by the quest for prosperity

long- lived through the eras of strife.

        

But how can we as mice so small

usurp pied pipers’ unreasons  to rhyme

all to the perils of our dead soldiers

left strewn through the farces of time?

For not even the stars live forever,

But the dreams of mankind carry on,

held hostage at the gates of eternity

which guard fast the dimensions beyond.

In the Eyes of the Beholder

 

When I look into the heart of twilight,

when another day has passed,

I see a spectrum of perspectives,

in colors fading fast.

 

To see the Mind of God,

or Mother Nature’s magic wand,

You must ascertain your senses,

sort-out what’s going on.

 

Every sunset is an inspiration;

each dawn an understanding,

The mind recalls a reality,

objectives notwithstanding.

 

Ten-thousand billion dimensions

exist right before your eyes;

The total mass of Nothing

is the Master of Disguise.

 

It’s in the eyes of the beholder,

in the hands that hold the grains;

It’s in the mind of those who capture

the domain of many reigns.

 

It’s the way that one interprets

each second of the display;

Nature’s raw-force powers;

the Beauty and the Decay.

 

It’s in the realms of hidden light –

what's really there but barely seen –

Emanating its own truth

from the envisions of a dream.

 

It’s in the heart of Inspiration,

from one’s own point of view,

It’s all based upon the experience,

what it really means to you.

 

 

 

           Moments More To Go

 

I’m a soldier that’s been living

entrenched behind the scenes,

I’m the one that can envision

and interpret all your dreams.

No one’s ever heard of me,

but I possess the gift of skill,

latent are my talents,

ousted by the will.

Give me any theme or topic,

any challenge I will take,

applied to every dimension

where you claim to have a stake.

I crown my rhymes with Reason,

you’ve to understand my flow;

it’s all based upon Reality,

as all the world should know.

I’m dedicated to my cause,

for my mind has been exposed

to all the things that really matter,

note the fire in the prose.

‘All the world’s a stage’,

so let this player roll,

off the hook of Inspiration,

   with still moments more to go .
