Sculpting Infinity

Expressing something that means something, requires a hammer, more so than a pen or a talent for kinesthetic storytelling. Chipping with murderous abandon to unearth just one thing that rings with so much depth, that resonates on a level that makes someones mind electric, someones testicles retreat, someones heart literally stop beating, someones breath turn acidic with remorse, requires a lifetime of labor.  And still...we may never achieve that result. Yet I keep expressing for you my friend and of course for myself. You see, its not the expression really, and it's never the finality of the thought. It's the noise I make, keys clacking, voice droning that you are so used to. If I stop, you will wonder about the that one bit of perfect silence and remember with longing or ire that I tried.  Returning the universe to the universe isn't a bad thing, but in that little bit of silence, you or another voice will take up hammers and sculpt your small part of infinity.

There are times when a pause seems last a lifetime.. yet is merely a moment when something touches skin or mind and yet... is neither accessible nor visible. There must be such a list of whys that would girdle oiur planet.. because each human being experiences athat moment of wonder, beauty or - hatred that takes a heartbeat and stops it. And that to me is .. sculpted infinity.. an inexplicable something here, gone.. remembered for always. Perhaps.

This poem did just that for me. Mind electric and resonation beyond... this poem really hit for me for some reason. Your words are electric. Thank you for this, I keep reading.

Sorry about just reading this review. You make me blush, thank you so much for the great review!

It is this vast insurmountable chasm that exists in my emotionally & intellectually barren landscape that drives me to write the ridiculous frenetic drivel that I do. I have the utmost regard for writers striving as you describe here, to "unearth just one thing that rings with so much depth" . . . it takes more courage & determination than I have to chisel this stuff out into the open (((HUGS)))

Better late then never, sorry about just reading this! Your does do the same thing, it wrings out all of the real and emotional content that comes with life and you do it so well that you literally leave me breathless sometimes. To be able to be as open and frank as you are is a special gift and one that people need to read. Thanks for the review, I appreciate you and miss your face!

sometimes it isn't what we say, it is how loud and persistent we are just trying to
reach others with what we need to say.
a Pen is peaceful protest, but not everyone will read the result.

You say true, I say thank ya. Sometimes I feel like I've said something, but then after further consideration I think I am merely talking to hear myself. Kind of like if I was a woman, I would just stand for hours looking at myself naked in the mirror. Thanks Jacob!

For some strange reason, I am now thinking of the late, great Spike Mulligans headstone, which simply said "I told you I was ill."
If I could be remembered for something that would make people laugh even in death, I shall be one happy ex person.
Creating ourselves in another's mind that can some us up perfectly, with a thought, a line or something we have written, is part of the creation of ourself we try for every time we pick up a pen.
Thinking about that now, I regret writing so much about penguins 😊
