Exploring the Now

What Plath to tread-
this night and all the subjects of
this world-
a touch and tap away from (and for) me-
I see now years behind
(and oh, how),
firm please...no tears now-
the tug and pull of myself-
the wounds- ripping tears
and dripping tears glaring,
evident in these (I pray) middle years;
easy now, this hard look found without seeking,
(finally) finding,
discovering at last this ceaseless grinding of me into me;
I've become a plough in function devouring itself.
Forged in mistakes, annealed and baked creating
(I the creator)
this creature I see- Me.
And where now to go?
Rolling this expensive knowledge 'round about,
this gem newly picked up and polished?
How to furrow true, straight and right-
endlessly, day in day out...no letting up,
night no excuse
just because the sun has slipped-
not reason enough anymore, in darkness
my actions now no less lit-
to me at least.
We are born alone-
from womb sprung in blood and fear,
(or so I hear from those who've gone through it),
and, (so it's said) the same that we part alone,
though I confess I'm happy to wait,
leaving picked not that particular bone.
But the years in between that first heard scream
and dying sigh....
these are the times I look squarely to
and answer for-
these unwritten unspoken (neglected) years of learning
there is much before and even more after-
the importance of tears and smiles and laughter-
this is the Now I wish to explore.

Just go with the flow...go with the flow.
Footnote: Mammals are not born alone. So, yeah, I disagree but hey, maybe I missed the hidden meaning there.
Oh, and speaking of , I like the way this flowed out.
Thanks,

these unwritten unspoken (neglected) years of learning
how true this is. all the wasted time spent, not growing striving, achieving. I do not want to live with regrets. I certainly dont want to take any to the grave. |
