~ EXPLORING ETERNITY ~
I dream the thick dream
With scant my reason, clawing are my fingers
As I fall deep, into the thickness
To an empty eon in ruins,
To the eternal abyss,
To the universal black hole,
Where time does not exist
------------------------------------------
I fall as a glimmer,
A memory, as yet, un-manifested
I don the dark dance
I move, like the slow spider,
Gently, ever-testing the web of time,
And though eternity eludes me
I aim my intent, with a piercing accuracy
As I fall, deeper, into its thickness
--------------------------------------------
It is here, I can feel it
The sleek inklings of time,
With its electric arrogance prancing
And my minimal chance, for understanding,
It toys with my minds eye,
Wrapped in a steady resistance
As I fall deeper, into its alibis...
----------------------------------------------
Then,
I awaken, so clean, so very pristine,
That I feel empowered, inspired,
When suddenly,
I hear a sobbing, in a wounded voice,
Speaking to me of love, and petrified by time,
I have (quite simply)
Found, a new part of myself,
While out here,
Exploring eternity...

I don't know how and can't explain why but there seem to be convergences where the poem I just crafted (Undone) kisses the edges of yours here. And, not that only but I also wrote a spider poem (unpublished) just before that!!! 🤯
Resonance of this astrological season?
Quite possibly the resonance of this Astrological season!!......there IS a LOT going on right now....please.....enlighten me as to the specifics of your hypothesis.....I am much MORE than curious my friend....you have NO idea.....And I await your reply with serious curiosity AL!!.....I will read these poems of yours but I REALLY would like to comment on them AFTER you have enlightened me as to the role Astrology plays here!!.....Your cyber-friend and Serious Admirer.......T xo : )
I am no expert in Astrology, however Aquarius has a shaddow self; a dark side. This is the wrapping up of Pisces but that does not mean the coming Age is a Utopia.
Aquarius is scientific, and so can be clinical/pragmatic and somewhat aloof. Hence, currently it appears to be choosing Capricorns for it's spoke-persons, which often results in dictatorship-style leadership.... so that means extra caution must be taken navigating the way through (cue delicate web-weaving), as this mumma gives birth to the new. We must remain lambs and quiet fishers of men, gentle as doves, treading softly.
But again, I am not an expert.
My earlier poem:
After the rain
It's not too late
To build again
So I twist my thread
To weave a new cloth
Perhaps I'll catch a fly
Perhaps a juicy moth
My many eyes look over the lake
Its fish are nibbling
Through waters opaque
Mozzie evades a puckered gape
But my knitting skills shall seal her fate
dear brother ....how are you???
Let me tell you something
BRILLIANT!!!!!! Love it...

Hello Tony :)
This is quite the epic journey my friend. I firstly would like to applaud you on the structure you chose to give this piece 👏 👏 👏
I think that in itself actually adds to that sense of dipping into each transition of dream state. Which really gives the journey extra body and momentum. Your creative gift to forge imagery shines in this poem
“I fall as a glimmer,
A memory, as yet, un-manifested
I don the dark dance
I move, like the slow spider,
Gently, ever-testing the web of time”
I mean this is just delightful to the minds eye. Dream like in its own intent. Just wonderfully fitting to the entire objective of this piece. To conclude how powerful dreams can be by the end. How we can truly find our purpose and identity, in those moments where we become that essence of thought within the universe itself. I could waffle on but it would lead to a VERY long comment. So I will end with a BRAVO my most talented poetic friend. You have grasped into the deep, and breathed a poem that feeds into the reader, the idea that our dreams are indeed a key to an untapped truth, hidden in our subconscious
A wonderful, wonderful poem
So very glad to know you my friend
Gwen xx :)
WOW!! G!!........I am at a loss for feedback to this because after having read several of your commentaries in a row I am stammering......I am flailing around in a desperate search for how to perfectly convey your astuteness....your aplomb......your comprehension skills (which are off the chart) and your general love of words......it's like I have finally met that one person who can actually SEE ME behind the words......but I imagine that's how most of the writers on this site feel when receiving a comment from you.......I can only say.....I am ever-so-glad to have crossed your path dear soul....and YES....I do believe that our dreams are one of the keys to an untapped truth that few of us ever search for.....and even fewer ever find....but I DO believe that the effort required IS indeed......worth it!!
Thank you dear lady
I am at your beck & call!!
Tony
every now and then, I discover something as I journey on through page after page of words that makes me go WOW .. not exactly out loud you understand but seemingly from somewhere in my head .. these words of yours just now helped me to pinpoint the direction from which that single syllabled sound originated from .. and had it not been for the echo, I might still be wondering .............................................................
I could of course go on for ever, but would likely run out of space in my own attempt to explore eternity .. so I shall stop write now and sit on the fence .. happy that I visited & got all that off my chest 10/10 sir :)
