I reside in a space where
there are no walls no borders
a nebulous grey in this space
no end just the awareness
of it’s existence
in this space
reside also the colors
blue for the sky
the verdant foliage
red the blood that flows
through those that soar
and their land based cousins
We all breathe the air
and eat the berries
the sun hovers o’er
giving verve to all of us
none better than
the other
our species who reads and writes
believe that we know more
yet when we question
our knowledge relative to
the realm of the all
we realize we know little
knowledge is imagination
its the keeper of life
it creates rather than
destroys yet we're a
destructive species
so what do we know
all that exists is equal
relying on each other
our value is relative to
our co-existence
with all life
we all exist
amidst the nebulae
of black and grey
the sum of all colors
and the calculus of all
even if we know it we certainly don't allow it, the equality, the sum. we should:) it would be a more interesting world, wouldn't it?
ReplyDeletei wonder how it is in your walking life with this set of beliefs? is it apparent to others and how do others respond?

I don't wear my agnosticism for coventional dogma or traditional deism beliefs on my sleeve but when I become involved in a discussion I employ a socratic method: query vs declarative.
ReplyDeleteI do breathe in deeply every morning hoping this will allow me to live a life filled energy in a fair and balanced co-existence.
Swear I don't live in a 'fairytale'
This poem is so "you." It shows such respect and reverence for all living beings.
