OF THE HUMAN KND

Submitted by Longo on 18 February 2010 - 11:17am.

OF THE  HUMAN KIND

 

I follow my whims and fantasies
Still earthbound
By
My singular reality.
My poetry
Are thoughts and words
Imagination and visions
Streaming color and light
Through a dark prism.

 

Like a ship on the high seas
I wander
In  waters calm and deep
But
More than most
In a sudden Winter  storm
I am broken and torn

 

I am exceptional and wondrous
Ordinary and lost in many
Yet
 I celebrate my unique humanity
Ex pluribus unus
As  I begin to fall
From
The edges of Infinity
Razor sharp disillusion
And
Ecstasy to have been
Body, soul and mind
Of
The human kind…

Ann of Norway "My poetry Are thoughts and words Imagination and visions Streaming color and light Through a dark prism." A fine dark prism with so many facets and so many different flashes of vision. We enjoy your visions and the philosophy behind them. We sail the same sea and will end up in the same place with you, We are made of the same stuff and are glad to have been able to live at all. I see you on your ship and wish you well. Annuccia with her love.
