Fickle Instant Osmosis


Ephemeral eternity — covers osmosis pinnacles
In a loving natural roots, nostalgia never fails
Welcomed. . .we wander — and cry
It slinks slackly not dwelling in the gloom. . .

Gestalt therapy in sepia tones offers an odd view,
Instant mete hourglass, scythe, magic mind wing
Proper, shining ruined glass before filters and pixels,

Cracks reveal truth, and hazy images evoke memory;   
Digitally altered shots provide unadorned faces, 

Silver stones — crumble under soggy streams
Love consists of endless childhood dreams,

We whirl, win, wildly in a whirlwind
Instants creep slowly — yielding assets to discard
Time lingers while instances ripple vastly.
 
It unfolds and emits a sticky—spirited symphony 
Transitional winds blew as we breathed and linked
Instants ticked slowly but rose quickly.

Glide into golden heat of the calm night hour
Ashes rise on a summer's sigh in the breezy sky
Soaring over the willows, peacefully fly.

Indeed, Lasaad, "cracks reveal truth." Every line flows with vivid imagery and I love the way you use science to convey the meaning of your poem - those instants where our perceptions are forever and irrevocably altered. Congratulations, dear friend, on your win. Blessings to you!

SP, as I read this I think about how we can learn or not from our experiences. The world you describe feels like it operates in spurts and gusts, but there is also a steadiness. I am smiling reading this just trying to imagine where I bc am at each moment. I’m trying to hold on to a sense of wellness. This actually helps.

Lasaad, what an amazing picture of the transformational phoenix - rising from whirlwinds, ashes and ephemeral hazes. These are amazing images of resurrection and new life from discarded assets! Your poem has the depth of many layers that invite me to sink into as I read and re-read your eloquent words, my friend. I think this is one of your best! Blessings for 2025 to you. Hugs, too!

Beauty in osmosis - we poets are all looking for these instances. Like a breath of "breezy sky" your tone, Sotto ...so I "peacefully fly"...
