I watch the sunbeam beaming through the window giving a glowing rectangle sheathe across my desk it is bright narrow and in a straight line I stop what I am doing remove my hands from the keyboard as I contemplate the object of my fascination I wonder what a philosopher would make of this narrow bit of sunshine would his thoughts coincide with those of the poet where a poet (me) sees so many things the sunspot represents beauty and wonderment taking it all in and writing a rhyming poem about the sunspot the philosopher would need to take it apart atom by atom to formulate a reason why it has seemed to distance itself from the father sun when he dissects and questions the rebel sunspot by the time he has done all he can do the strip of sun has disappeared never to be the same again after been analyzed which will frustrate the philosopher but the poet has his poem to relive the moment at his whim ©November 30, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~ |

quote:The mechanical philosopher might take a straight edge, brace it directly parallel to the line of light and trace it on his desk exactly as it is before it can move again on its path to someone else's desk in some other part of the world. Wonderful piece JerryPat. I'd say more, but I'm out of breath after a larger than needed supper. Take care my friend and here's a fist full of 88's for ya! She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

I stop what I am doing remove my hands from the keyboard as I contemplate the object of my fascination You were blessed, dear Jerry, to allow the sunspot to stir your emotions. It's in these moments when we feel overwhelmed by the beauty surrounding (or visiting) us, that we experience the oneness with all there is. Deeply enjoyed! Excellent rendering. Margherita |

Ahhh . . . Yes, that would be what the philosopher would probably do after all, Ticklefingers . . . ~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~ |

Takes a pretty good poet to pull a poem out of a little shaft of light, my friend. ~L |

I'm not a fanatic about it, and I'm certainly no philosopher, but I'd move my desk Mr. Bolton and enjoy the line on the floor. I could lay there mere inches away from it and pretend it was a razor-sharp pendulum about to sever me in half. Like I said though, I'm not a fanatic... Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me! |
