The True Purpose

The True Purpose

A Poem by Sola

My dear, Isn’t this world enthralling? 


Every moment a chance to devise the improbable, 


Complete the impossible, 


And take note that you needn’t bother moving a muscle


And you are still in the truly astonishing performance of existing. 


Why should we be silent? 


Why should we be still? 


Don’t you love it when the shards of fractured moonlight impale your sheets at a dark and dusky hour? 


Do you not see the wonder in the simplicity of the angle that the sun dares to alight upon the early morning dew,


 And how in light of this something born of water is now something so untouchably ablaze with the glow of a star unimaginably far from our little blue green mass we call home? 


Aren’t you amazed, astonished and baffled as I am? 


To know that with the first few sparks of knowing itself a bird of not much knowledge may pump its appendages and take to a dimension man has never truly been able to embark upon by simply using will of flight without the assistance of some artificial appliance?  


Oh how splendid it is to have more inquisitions than answers! 


My darling, you are no doubt wondering why this odd piece of my creation has been so sloppily pasted to out fridge. 


I have finished the cold pizza you wanted for breakfast. 


I am sorry. 


It was wonderful, a magnificent symphony of cheese and pesto. 


Outlined with a simple cacophony of grilled chicken


Truly splendid. 


And now that you have read through this piece in its entirety, I have hidden myself at the neighbors.


Again. 


So that you may not yell at me for devouring the purpose of your morning, 


Dear, 


The pizza, 


Was splendid.

Reminds me a bit of Melville. Revery in the old style. Nice.

~ the best part about this rather fascinating and insightful piece of poetry is the earnestness with which it has been narrated... a love for the universe, a love for love, and a love for pizzas glows and glows and glows in your words... yes, we tend to miss the beauty of it all... thank you for being so observant... :)

This is nothing short of brilliance, made me giddy to read it, you enthrall me with your words. Best revenge, eating that last piece of pizza. ;-) Love it!
