Patricia Langston-Moran Poet Ode

Eternity's Moment

Intricate webs of geometrical lines,
Invisible cord between soul and mind,
Stretched rigid and wearily taut.
Time...searches cloistered designs 
Of snowflake precision...seeking to find
Eternity...God's moment of thought.

Astronomical fingers reach to infinity,
Plunging through layers of time and dust,
From Genesis to Revelation, birth to tomb...
Revealing the reality of Divinity,
Or Time's deception tainted by rust,
Relativity. the fruit of the womb.

Time stands before us...torn pages
Painfully constructed...a microscope
Hovering over the Creation of Earth and sky.
A play on a universe of stages
Passes fleetingly through Man's hope.
Knowledge...born of the animal cry.

Debbie Guzzi June 8, 2009 at 6:09 PM I loved each verse and each verse seems to stand alone. Verse one could be titled Eternal Geometry..verse two Divinity Revealed..verse three Microscopic Knowledge..Light & Love PS try Chrysalis Torn...I think you'll like it.

Keith Bickerstaffe December 23, 2008 at 1:44 PM There is a passage in a book by Mark Helprin which deals with time, and man's perception of it... my email address is [email protected]. If you email me your address will be protected, and I will certainly hold it in strictest confidence. This is a remarkable piece, full of vivid imagery and exceptional language! BRAVO Patricia!!
