on the way to next world

Plane of angles lingers
sofa lines a metered wall
it picks lengthened shadows
eager to rest, one lies
pet cat, on space rug, stretches
an evening of pauses
a watch waits to rewind

What an evening brings
adjoining daylight, subdued
hinted dusk
a violet streaked horizon.
pauses for reckoning
rest runs its course
cat back arcs
feline moulded
an abode of moments
measured and forgotten
my body, on an earthly axis,
has just rotated
my mind follows in awe
what an evening's shadow brings.

There, a moment's notice
a pause in essence,
in presence
from a plane of angles
to others, rotated
a planetary axis
all is reckoned
from the oracle on the mount
one rests supine
and  worlds turn
out of sight
evening pauses
minds stretch
beyond fervour
abode of moments
measured, forgotten
paused
until press restart...

The celestial tent circus
recorded on tape
your angled lines dampened
rotated
mode of moments
their essence
presence
measured and forgotten
paused
until restart

Obstacles repeat
pushed to summits
planes of higher angles
released into a pause
of space, time
watch waits to rewind..
what the evening dusk brings.

wordwizard, "The celestial tent circus"..
Loved that line! and I liked the way this Poem darted in & out of shadows & angles,
also reference to the cat.

A Very cool write..
Enjoyed

"Plane of angles" and "restart" and "obstacles repeating"...  For a second I was thrown back into the old "Tempest" video game.  This was far more elegant though, and much less scary in its presentation.

Enjoyable words and imagery.
