    The Threads of Life

    An infinite number of snakes -- Intertwining
    Like the threads in an woven, infinite fabric.
    They create the garment of conscious and unconscious perception.

    They move, snuggle close and nearly strangle
    Till they fall off at the moment of recognition –
    The resolve of time into eternity

    And then everything is simple and beautiful
    The snakes -- creations of nothingness beyond the limited
    Understanding of the human mind

    They exist in space/time —
    In a mind made out of boundaries and obstacles
    Weaving the beautiful yet sorrowful patterns of life.

    They intertwine, trying to hug lovingly to cuddle close
    But always fall apart in the end
    And leave a desert of nothingness

    For the eye who can see
    They loose their glow into transparency
    Ready to become solid for the ignorant

    Light is all – bluish white light
    Light is all there is, bliss all that exists
    Between us, amongst us and in us

    We never find the way back to incompleteness
    Once we have crossed the threshold into infinity
    And who wants to?

    The threshold is near
    When I do the next step
    The old world falls and a NEW arises

    Take the step at the appointed time
    Follow your hearts desire in freedom
    Embracing those who are waiting in union.

    When you have thrown off the threads that brought you to freedom
    Don’t forget those who follow
    And walk in peace and follow the foot steps of the giants.

    Hoosierpoet commented on The Threads of Life

    05-05-2009

    This is the kind of poem one could mull over for hours, and keep getting new nuances of feelings, emotions, perceptions, and meanings. I enjoyed reading this commentary, and philosphy of life.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
