The Tumbling Light

In the deep, deep dark, my brain flashes sight
-of a garden in a forest
-where the trees sway in chorus
-dropping tiny stars that fluoresce
and Ideas that hide in shadows reach to catch one tumbling light.

They merge and link in combination, prodding Man's Imagination to
write on tapestry weaved from birth his dreams and hopes thus far.
So if in Life his pen runs inkless, he can read how unrelinguished
he once held his dreams extinctless blinks of tumbling stars.

Their divine inspiration is the heat that flames creation
into making Man cross silvern stars that span the Heaven’s breach
and from their brink back cosmic reach his hand outstretched with Truth to teach-
“To settle not for what you see but to envision what can be”.

Once launched,they glint and glimmer,these Ideas now spectral hot,
-poking free the mind's detention,
-prompting Fate's proclaim to mention
-that Ideas cause man's ascension,
not his status, wealth or money, nor his claims of things he's got.

Love this  especially...but there are several other lines that I also enjoyed and agree with

M – It appears that what separates one man from another is the presence of an Idea in one and the absence of an Idea in another and the behavior each demonstrates as a result. I just thought I’d write a little about that and I’m so very happy that you found some naked thoughts here that help. Thanks M for your enjoyment.  Namyh
