An Open Gate :  Speak ‘Friend’ and Enter ...



The need that tames the flames of inner fire
can seed ten thousand ripples may be more,
desire to feed the furnace of desire
creates from dust more than there was before.

Those letters inked on parchment or those which
on pixel tell~tale trace dance in the brain
may early, late, both stimulate, enrich,
cross reference, cross reference again.

The music which one hears the spheres have known
they knew they knew before is undertone
vibrating through the Universal, sown
as echo coeval with the wind thats blown

along the way as day and night advance ~
or is it coexist in parallel ~
with worlds dreams glimpse perhaps should changeling Chance
a timeline open till dawn's waking bell.

What counts is ways the wave bands interlink
from infra violent through the ultra read
judgmental values fade, flushed down Life's sink,
the Pattern counts, how waft and web are spread

within the flow itself should make one think
there is no past, no present, no ahead,
as Time can rhyme the span, at Man must wink ~
as [s]he from Judge to Judgement's, spinning, led.

The air we breath with life does seethe and how
that interacts to marshal facts is strange,
coincidence can shape both "here and now"
and still instill, fulfill, scope for more range

without the trammels and the platitudes
which most do tie ~ both low and high ~ as each
may goes beyond informal attitudes
to glow in flow with currents out of reach.

This flow is pattern icing on the cake
the poet bakes it takes the time to write
it whirls around, remains on ground to make
no line dividing time, space, day or night.

Thus time itself appears conveyor belt
on belt "die Welt" does drive at different speeds,
some contradictory, some helter-skelt
to feed the need to feed the need to seed

an echo which upon an unknown date
in turn will stimulate discovery
of what once known ~ it is an open gate
which calls upon the inner eye to see...



Life : A finite succession of infinite opportunities

Poetry : Open sharing of individual ability to channel creative soul-song AWAY from the ego

"it is an open gate
which calls upon the inner eye to see..."

I've got to agree with you here.  Thought provoking piece!

Johnathan- I read this one three times to make sure. I am almost as new to this forum as you so maybe I need to read it again. To me I see an open gate as an invitation..
I do like it.

Exactly! You put forth so many beautiful thoughts in this, it was hard to pick out one phrase that strikes me.
But the 'undertone' reference is in such perfect harmony with my own concept of the Universe, I had to select that as my favorite.

Johnathan, your pixel tell-tale traces are alway a pleasure to read. I need to read your work with four eyes, two for each meaning you weave expertly into the lines.

Another excellent write
