A Loop In the Soup

It’s been a year since I joined the soup,
Meanwhile we’ve gone round the sun in a loop,
Sadly some fell off, didn’t quite make it all the way,
I’m clinging on, hoping to find one better day. 

But the loop continues, has to persist,
Like our thoughts, it’s what makes us exist,
So off we go on our journey, around once more,
Headlong to tomorrow, unsure what’s in store. 

Creating poems of all shapes and every kind,
Unaware what verse will next spring to mind,
Oh boy then it comes, at once all together,
A feeling of achievement moments of pleasure. 

Sometimes I wonder are they already written,
Preprogrammed into life, an untapped composition,
Latently buried, in the back of our mind,
Placed there by creation, or maybe design. 

So like it or not, as we loop around the soup
One thing I’m sure of, this life is no fluke,
And that’s us in a nutshell, as we spiral through space,
Today seems the same, but earths in a different place.

Had to look that ism up, fits in to my outlook on life along with biocentrism, I believe the universe is infinite past and future and if I’m right it means we’re part of infinity so anything’s possible, it’s a crazy life super Mo cheers David

Ah, my “we” found “awe” more fitting. Thank you! I recently found an “ism” I can believe in, or rather an “ism” that fits my beliefs and my being here before fits (Panpsychism) ...we must have met before.

Thoughts rolling around in the head. The muse grabbing stitches of our life, some dusted off and compared to today. Speaking of spiraling in space, I’m amused by a new FB messenger effect. Blessings, David!
