TURN THE TIME DEEP … Deep in the mind of every man, lies the knowledge of time; Deep in the knowledge of time, lies the heart of every man; Deep in the heart of every man, lies the instinct of good; Deep in the instinct of good, lies the soul of every man; Deep in the soul of every man, lies the vision of heaven. Time has remained silent to these -- only visions in the mind's eye; The mind's eye has remained silent to these -- only dreams of the spirit; The spirit has remained silent to these -- only ghosts from the past; The past has remained silent to these -- only a repeat of the future; The future has remained silent to these -- only man's own history to guide. Turn back edges of space and see the face of God -- mirrored image of man; Turn back mirror's silver and see clear windows of time -- clock of the universe; Turn back the clock's face and see mechanism of life -- mystery to be solved; Turn back mystery's page and see the image of birth -- life to be lived; Turn back life's years and return, deep in the mind of every man.

M.Miller~ This is quite a piece. I am caught up in ponder. That's a good thing ! ! !  'Turn back edges of space and see the face of God -- mirrored image of man' Beautiful ! So profound. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Thanks Marge and cuddlez for reading ... I posted this piece on the "Critical" board (the version you see here) and am considering some change to it, but as long as it's making people think, I will leave it alone (for now) ... The repetition is bothering some (me too now) ... Cuddlez ... Turning back time's mirror to the face of evil would be the perfect way for it (evil) to see just how ugly it really is ... To "Return deep in the mind of every man" exposes what each individual is ultimately responsible for in their respective lifetimes ... Evil sees evil in a continuous loop ... Can you think of any worse hell?< !signature--> My calling before me, let quill be my offering; For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive. M.A.M.

I do like the infinite air about this poem. Sort of a surreal philosophy where you grasp the concept but never truly comprehend the the details. (Of infinity and life, not the poem!) Definitely one to ponder. Very good writing. I look forward to reading more! |

MA Miller..... definitely one to ponder over... Favorite line... Turn back the edges of space and see the face of God--mirrored image of man. I can't wait to see more of your works. |
