Transience Soft sunset-grey clouds tipped in salmon and azure The sound of rocks striking rocks in an empty canyon Water flowing into the mist Shades dancing with shadows and sunbeams through the Winter forest poet-dreams of a ‘different world’... One thinks of all the things that ultimately leave no traces No more ‘real’ than a mirage reflected in a mirror… empty form form in emptiness as frost and lightning all is flux… ('enlightenment' follows in the wake of transience) cling to nothing! |

Poet, this writing of yours makes me think of Freud's Requiem, by Von Unwerth -- it explores a walk and a friendship (that never occurred) while contemplating transience of existence as though it were all a dream. Freud’s essay, “On Transience”, recalls a leisurely summer afternoon in 1913 in the company of a poet assumed to be Rilke. Rilke and Freud discuss beauty and transience; Rilke admires beauty, troubled by its impermanence, while Freud believes beauty’s transience increases its value. What a fine poem you have here, greatly enjoyed! [This message has been edited by ArtSolstice (11-29-2007 11:19 AM).] |

"cling to nothing" That's what they say--the seers and prophets and such anyhow. Falling or flying? It's hard to tell in mid-air. (I've got a thousand of these axioms if we ever get our emails straight.)  Enjoyed this one and hope to see more. (I'm around, just hit and miss lately.) |

I enjoyed this one. Cling to nothing---maybe so. It's a philosophical concept I've toyed with from time to time. And it's true that growth comes only in change, and the ephemera of life speak to us of eternity. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

This certainly isnt transient, it resonates with truths and deep thought...thank you for the scenes.. Goldenrose. Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, ring out the old, ring in the new,ring out the false, ring in the true..A Lord Tennyson |
