sometimes I feel
I am as one with the spacious cosmos
spread my arms
pull the great expanse into me
a fortitude of birthless
timeless spirit hears my silent request
I construct my own
happiness and sorrow
within my unique quest of life
I shroud legitimacy
with the serpent of my soul daily
at night spiders take over
still . . . there is a conscious ecstasy
with my every breath
freely I create my sheath of life
to freely
partake of shadowed enjoyment

Yeah, I've completely lost that feeling of the kickass kinda poems I used to write. Never thought it would happen. Really don't much like it.

Isn't it wonderful that we a can reinvent ourselves whenever the need arises? I feel we each carry many other voices within our minds. Voices that can change a feeling in a silent flash. We are so many people within one. The person we are,the person we think we are and the person we would like to be. Add in the many different versions of us that those who see us    and think they know us. Amazing! best to you, Jo P.S. I think of Cary Grant and how he fashioned himself to be the suave man he became. http://www.biography.com/people/cary-grant-9318103

Thank you very much for your wise comments and the link to the Cary Grant story. He was one of my favorite actors. He was impressive to me onscreen, but his background was so varied and troubled that I was surprised he made it as far in life as he did. It was good to read, the point you were trying to make I think was that with drive and ambition people can do far greater things that even they can surprised. Thank you again . . .

Jerry, your poems always touch me in some way. Today I am thinking of you and others as I set up my "Poetree" and reread your quilted poem. M

I enjoy "the serpent of my soul" invokes the image of the double helix also the Caduceus Staff

It's time to rethink every fact that is imaginable
Survival instinct dwells in a past that is inhabitable
I happen to pull fast ones over the slow p

Wow ... and what feelings you have expressed here, dear Jerry. This is actually one of my favorites of your rich production! Because it speaks to me.

Expand expand your consciousness ... and the shadows will become tinier and shrink to nothing.

Love,
