on the way to next world

0 posted 2016-11-06 12:00 PM


after all, it is battered and empty
yet held existence and then some
oh vigorous pouring continued
glass rims overflowed,
fires would have warmed the sailing spirits
but earth sediments imbibed more than
heat could radiate from any flame then
some life forms sought to flourish
contrasted starkly to
forests turned to cindered columns
when dryness was on the menu
all in a day's making

then there comes the one day
after that magnificent deluge,
once heaven's waters have subsided
and arcs rested on hilltops
after molten flows ceased to amaze
people talked about a continuous flow
it happened after many rains
and caustic tremors
life forms outgrew boundaries
set by those who had,
over those that had not
who waited in earnest for some calm
in the eye of a storm
at the skirt hem of another
before knowing when to
exit their floating container

that marine box
that had fought the flood
that worried the beast
that ate the corn,
it was now empty space
a void whose center
would connect desperate worlds
of rich harvests gone foul
as earth's cup overflowed
at one end and
emptied at another
soon to be a mountain top....
only a water world had come
leaked horrifically
and shores grew ever present....
again and again it would occur.

For those who believe it to be so, life is cyclical, living on a planet whose nature it is to also be cyclical. I gather some of this from your writing, which I enjoyed very much WW.
