Embers

Embers

No hearth

burning inside,

embers.

I saw

her old trembling body bending

towards the soil's

fruits

I saw

her wrinkled fingers pull

the fennel from a dry

earth.

Her pale eye

questioning mine.

Silent sunny colours

soil my winter soul

Among the daisies

the ghost of our

lost dog -

there she used to lie in the sun.

A warm spring

outside the old house

no hearth burning inside,

embers.

From the " Embers " there is still the means to instigate the flames. From, the ashes can rise the Phoenix. You, must see the treasure of what makes place, and welcoming warmth. Of, memories you wish to enjoy and those you wish to exile, due to their corrupting influence. But, you learn valued lessons from them all.
Within, the appeal of the heartfelt warming, or " Burning, " is the resonance of progressive thinking. The tide turning for our species when soul was attached to cask. So, we, could become all we want to be. And, learn continually from individual expressions, or experiences, to embrace collective planning.
In, " 2001 A Space Odyssey " Kubrick celebrates OUR " Inception " and the source of our desires, to build from fire, industry, delivering future gain. This year saw reactions against " The Human Condition " stalling, and possibly declining fortunes, into " Oblivion " !! Now, time having moved on, our " race " continues, to want to re- KINDLE flames of passion, and driving-forces to everyone's benefit.
" 2010 " leaves us with the prospect of going on a journey like no other. To, be far greater than life, here, alone, dictates. The reality is grasped through belief, and grief, of blessed release from inhibitors to " further " understanding, beyond the horizon. You, and I, have a " Call, Of Duty " to preserve the " dream-state " earnt from more efforts, to " boldly go where none have gone before " !! If, foundations are correctly placed by us, to leave legacy, which develops a contract of trust between our " Species " and higher authorities, wishing to aid us on our journey, caused by what is done on Earth, and perhaps, beyond it. THE CONTRACT, of trust and loyalty to mankind, to go further than conceived possible re-emerges, from creativity, even derived from conflict or warfare. THINK, OF WHAT COULD BE. THINK, OF WHAT COULD COME. THINK, HOW ALL WE DO OR SAY IS CRUCIAL. Whether it be for individual concerns, born from memory and " Lust For Life, " or from desire, and need, of more. Than even humanly thought possible.
EVERYTHING MATTERS....WITHIN, LIFE. Well expressed here. In your own terms. On your own terms. Thoughts shared FOR THE GOOD OF ALL.
Thanks.
SEE, IN 2020, YOUR WORTH." Every life, matters. " Every life contributes to the collective consciousness. Right ?  X
