An Antiquated Being

In an orb of knowledge, walks a colored girl.
Her celestial being is ethereal.
Abreast is she of her past but fragile to the imminence.
Her strides are hindered because once she was poor and her life was lost in that
      remembrance.
In the present day, she is born to be a rich woman.
Her compositions oeuvres her as a legacy lost.
Her cognizance delineates her as a renowned Poetess.
She remembers herself as well spoken.
Prestige she was given by her family.
However, she was born in the time of human suffering.

An antiquated being esteemed to write is this girl in her reincarnated life.
She was born before her time and now the good Lord has revitalized.
Metaphysically she conceives vivacity.
With effervescence learnt, her vim and vigor are expressed through her lexes.
The echoes of her thoughts are parrots.
Emotionally she enters her past life and begins to compose the opus.
Her perception manifests the images of her verses.
A modern day Poetess against subversion is a Poetry Diva verge of curses.

Has there ever been a time that was not the time of human suffering?? You have used some very interesting imagery. Are you speaking of yourself or another? When we limit our view to the bubble we live in true knowledge and wisdom will elude us. By trying to expand ourselves we actually shrink. You are so much more and less than is depicted here. The connection to past and future can only be amplified by the limiting of self and the expanding of God.

This antiquated being would be me in observance of another. However, it can be me as me in a socio-economical world connected to the factor of poverty. Thanks for your insightful response and supportive remarks Rick. Verlena
