I know,
         the path is,
                        again

again,
and yet, still beyond
where being has deigned
I must go

I may not come back
lost,
      lost by the fountain
      where Time flows
             the ducks, gathering pieces of Time
             like so many cosmic crackers,
             speak to me in the language of
             the heart and mind
                                     (quack quack)

again,
and yet, for the first time
where sun and moon
shine as one

I may never know Destiny
found,
      found, she knew me all too well
      knew that I would never be hers
             but that Darkness would come to me
             that, to balance Light, my Light
             Darkness would have to join with me
             so I would know it in me
                                     (speak speak)

again,
and yet, never ending
the beginning now coming
around as full circle

I may never know Life
held,
      held, by the hands of an Eternity
      that I'm only beginning to know
             an Eternity that waits to be both
             teacher and student in dimensions
             never knowing that its been here before
             seeing the planes of being
                                     (see see)

Sven,

Enjoyed this post very much.  Much food for thought here - Time, Destiny, Eternity, Light and Darkness - and we are all these (the teacher/student who cannot remember being here before).  Of course, it helps to take a slightly different look at reality than most of us have been taught we 'must' adhere to or be 'lost' (as in not being "saved").

So glad there are other's out there with real minds who think real thoughts, and have the need to express them.  Thank you!!!

Sven, you been studying something, haven't you? This reminds me of some piece one would find in a college literature class.

Excellent indeed!

thank you all my friends. . . sorry to be so late in my reply to you all. . . but, I've been away. . .

it would seem that my mind and my pen have been thinking in tandem these days. . . and this, as well as other things, will be what they show for it. . .

and passing shadows. . . the only thing that I'm studying is life. . .
