I Said I Thought I Saw I Was

Old poems/new posts inspired by recent articles on PoetrySoup All forms relate to the word So from the beginning They carried their ideas In their minds eye Shaping symbols A dimension of spirit The eye that underlies eyes Vision makes the flash seem longer In one blinding flash I thought I saw I was I said All forms relate to the word Being based on a set of words Also forgotten parts of yourself Evocation and reproduction Of the things of life As strange factory-born personages Words very mysterious Every process of Creation begins with Also with Imagination Of past ways Of seeing and experiencing Detached from life Finding a way back into it Breaking from time Fracturing the sense of balance and place Where past and future are interchangeable Achieving synthesis of time and space One can literally pass the time Cut loose drifting slowly through Slowed down space of next to nothingness Detached from life until In one blinding flash I said I thought I saw I was The word falls on its face on the floor
