Circling Existence, a Trilogy The Beginning, Chapter I It was there, on another plane in another life in someone else’s dream somewhere amid star shine and moon’s beam loved a life anew loved another, too there, on the other plane Memories trickle in between night dream and reality where there lies the line black/white, lust/love so close, so far there, on another plane lived another life anew loved others too there, on that other plane Seafoam memories red-orange china memories fling me far away to sea there, on the other plane Perhaps an ancient bird was I as in dream state I often fly, under power of my own there, on the other plane Is it just a wanton dream, of people/beings I only want to be or is it something I should see there, on the other plane… The Middle, Chapter II I saw her on the Nile her beauty foretold her reign in gold… my death was unnoticed my arrival was unnoticed… I was there I watched Him walk before the world knew what He would do… my death was better my arrival was unnoticed… I suffered mightily for the Peace that wouldn’t come King’s Lords over rode I was overcome… my death now searched at the place of this birth… I spoke to Napoleon before Josephine arrived he was so alive his passions wouldn’t survive… of a passing no record my life of little worth… only woman, only husband to listen to the hoof beats to run from tyranny to explore new lands…retreat… we found a new world She had a light in her hand… I tilled ground fought for the right to live beside the red American who held my babe… you can still see my cross over my grave… today I wonder when all things foreign seem right deep in night’s night in the absence of light When did I begin? When will I really end… The End, Chapter III It is today Swirling around me I touch all things All things touch me Everyone has a twin Where is mine… Out there Somewhere There, on the other plane Does she look at herself And think of me? What does her heart see? Are we a repeat of history? Have I done things not yet imagined? Did I impact your life? Am I but another's dream? Is there an opening to this plane One to step through Knowledgably? And if I touched it Would it shimmer? Am I a better person on the other side? Am I despised there? Do I cry? It was there, on another plane in another life in someone else’s dream somewhere amid star shine and moon’s beam today I wonder when all things foreign seem right deep in night’s night in absence of light today, I will wonder of me there, on the other plane…in the real reality… there, go I. 10 July 2000 ©Karilea Rilling Jungel |

This made me smile HUGE smiles. I'm not quite sure if I interpreted it correctly, but if I did, I was just trying to convey this same problematic theory of time and reincarnation to another poet here at Pip. Now you've done gone and started up the brain again... and I'd sworn off that thinking stuff too! Enjoyed this, even if it left me a million miles away in me mind.  |

I agree with Ser..left me many miles away.. somewhere in time.. reminded me of the book "Many Lives, Many Masters", among others.. Oh yes...I did enjoy this immensely. Thank you for the keeper lovely lady. ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |
