pause between breaths

Topic: abstract

alone
with phantoms
and
skeletons
hang
ing
in
a
tree
(never
would stay
in closets)
of many threads
in
the sighing
of my realities
holding
strrong
still
love tomorrow.

'pause between breaths' seems to me to herald a new era within the written sphere of ming. It is -- of course -- a beautiful poem -- one that strikes me as large -- although it's but 'a pause between breaths.' In a way I might have called it 'inspirational poetry,' since it serves me as a call-to-arms. This is an existential statement that we -- despite our skeletons -- (no matter where they are: i love the touch of humor) -- we -- at first -- resign ourselves to another bleak tomorrow and then must admit that we will indeed love tomorrow; that -- despite our sighing and weariness and poetic-tilt -- and --yes, our sadness... that we will all be but bones -- one of these Tomorrows... so why not live-it-up while still able to move by our own power -- and: okay: Choice. Indeed.

A heart-rending shofar-call to the ever-resilient God-given spirit. Most appropriate on Rosh HaShanah -- the Jewish new year.
