Here, There, Everywhere, Nowhere

Here, There, Everywhere, Nowhere

A Poem by modtoddinc
"

A poem influenced by the knowledge that everything together makes up the truth... we live in a world of duality and must embrace opposites for understanding.

"

"Unless ye make the things of the right hand as those of the left, and those of the left as those of the right, and those that are above as those below, and those that are behind as those that are before, ye shall not have knowledge of the kingdom." Acts of Peter XXXVIII

 

Mirrored reflections in view,

Of scenes fathomed anew,

And thunderous voices echo,

These silent choices,

 Although;

Forgetting harmony

Acting so adversely

Missing our holy pleas

 

If these heavens only above

Are these hells below the sky?

If these heavens are on the earth

Then who can hear us cry?

And we fear from behind

These reapers of our time

And always look ahead

For better wisdom led…

Abilities;

And we sink below the surface

Down, down, down,

This is not our purpose,

In truth a shallow view

Crown, crown, crown

The people of the Earth

Free formed around

The kingdom come to birth

 

To this present place

Not for but caused by

Stars in outer space

Dust from dust aware

Experience, not waste

Todd, This is one of the types of writes that I find hard to explain WHY it is so well done; I just look at the work as A WHOLE and say this: AMAZING! The philosophical theorem with which you preface the write is intriguing enough to get the reader (at least this one) anticipating greatness within the subsequent read, and then you deliver the goods in sensational style. The religious overtones in the piece play a pivotal role in the storytelling, but this is much more than a story. This is a philosophy, outlined magnificently within the whole piece, which is (in my opinion) a masterpiece. I must say I've been on WC since mid-January, and of the poets I've read since, you have arguably grown as much as a writer as anyone else that I've read. This is a beautiful work, and it's going right into my library favorites. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. (BTW, acoustic AC/DC? A brilliant choice of accompaniment!) take care...dan

as much as we hope there is something after this life that is better...perhaps there is only dust...and if so...we need to make the best of the time here...our "present place" is most important...not the one we think is going to be in the future...live for the now.
