A Rose

A rose is a rose is a rose
A life is a life is a life
Each a flower with its power
A speck of time with its hour

I’ve had my time to beat the drum
My time has run so now I hum
A childish song before I sleep
I give my soul the Lord to keep

No mater what I do believe
The ends the same we all receive
I cannot fight the tide of sweep
Or keep my head above the deep

I know I’ll change back into grime
Perhaps to live again in time
The chaos of infinity
I’m stuck in this vicinity

Each piece will touch the sum of call
Each piece will be the sum of all

Oh, Sir Sy, this poem touches my heart.  Your words will always be with me, even when you are not.

The first line here has run through my mind for quite some time, but I have as of yet to put it in writing. You, my friend, have done so, beautifully. Which is no surprise to me.

Rose is for its color
Life is for its valor
oil of rose is for memory
spirit of life is for eternity.
happyly living
and enjoy modernity.

Good poem.

a 'Universalist' !

I have been spending a lot of time lately
concentrating on reading work of authors
rather new to ‘P.I.P.’ and/or new to me at least;
however, when I wish to be ‘pre-assured’
of a lovely ‘read’...with powerful imagery, I turn to
folks like ‘Seymour’ where I can always find something
that constitutes a most fine ‘write’!

As a trained ‘Universalist’ [Complexity/Chaos]
Scientist, I particularly liked the line:

“The chaos of infinity”

and:

“A rose is a rose is a rose
A life is a life is a life
Each a flower with its power
A speck of time with its hour…”

and:

“Each piece will touch the sum of call
Each piece will be the sum of all!”

much of ‘Nature’ involves dynamic (‘open’)
systems wherein ‘Order’ is constantly, spontaneously
‘self-organizing’ out of ‘Chaos’ and later disintegrating
once again back into it;  and frequently, such systems
display fractal ‘self-similarity’ across all scales of
observation  [the same ‘patterns’ repeating within
such patterns; etc…..  “Each piece (truly seeming) the
sum of all”…as Seymour put it!]
