the brightness shows again in the place
       where light was known once
not dispelling the darkness
       but, just being out of nothing
being out of itself and yet, being into itself

this is the place where I find one
       and not the other
where both exist, and neither be

a place beyond time and space
where thought transforms
where the Spirit remains
       even after it's gone

the Heart of Light beats in time
       and time moves through itself
revealing the essence of being and
       the being of essence

time moves astrally
       and space moves in planes of knowing
we move through time, but yet,
       we remain where

we remain the same
       it's everything else
              that changes

Dear God Sven!  Might that mean that this big belly of mine is not really here?!?

Seriously this is wonderful pensive work! I seem to read you into this time and space and the spirit of the hereafter still here lately.
Just excellent writing!

Nice thoughts my friend!

AD darling heart As always you write brilliantly, and with such divinely perfect phrasing and language usage. You’ve painted a wonderful picture here, each line a brushstroke bringing the painting to vibrant life as only YOU can do so. As I said outstandingly good. The flow of this is superb this is a write of awesome magnitude

You are an amazing writer, and yes I am just a tad biased, but not a lot…… You really are superb you know.

Excellent darling heart you know I love it of course

Love and warm stuff

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

Very much enjoyed Sven,
as I have been pondering a lot
of these thoughts myself lately.

Sven,  excellent again and again...

You make me think back to Rod Serling...
standing there talking cryptically about
what is fixing to happen in the next
mysterious story....

BRAVO!!! Oh my gosh, yes, it's not exactly that we change whatsoever, but we are letting gravity get to us and we forsake our grace so the times seem to change who we are! (sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, your views of time and space are always intriguing, I LOVE IT, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This reminds me of Being and Nothingness, very abstract.  Good read.

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

Almost missed this one - WOW!!! (Been busy unpacking - but needed a refreshing break).

I'm new to the forums, but I'm glad I clicked on your poem - it's a wonderful confirmation to know that there are other's out there who can think multi-dimensionally as well.  This one was great.

I will now look up your other poems, as you've really sparked my interest.

Great write!!!

ThisDiamond, not just duplicity, but more like. . . multiplicity. . . thank you. . .

Lauren, thank you. . . the planes are there. . . we just have to find them. . .

alterego, thank you and welcome. . . it's nice to know that there are others out there who walk the planes as well. . . I'm glad that you enjoyed. . .

Sandra, so, does it really show that much??     perhaps, I'm looking at what really matters these days. . . and finding the answers. . . thanks, as always, for reading. . .
