Notes About The Poem
Experience seems to reinforce: “what we resist persists.” Death is such an unknown. We all want to dream as if we’ll live forever, but perhaps we should all aspire to live as if we’ll die today...and still hold to those dreams as our little secret.
Finding Home
Finding Home
by Odin Roark
So temporary
Earth's tabled destiny
The shifting tectonics of time
only know continuous evolution
rendering today's attachment
but tomorrow's adjusted divide
Most sense not
when disturbance begins
when spilled milk begins to teach
when failure signals wisdom
From cradle to grave
conditioning grows unabated
advancing through
preschool
elementary
middle
high
higher
finally granting
one's very own onion skin
reality's tenuous admission ticket
Perfect job
Do this
Lose that
Perfect relationship
Enjoined
Divorced
Unexpected seismic shifts erupt
innate calculations run asunder
passion's molten flow
fuses heart and mind
Eternity awaits
shackles melt free
unhappiness exits
flames cleanse bodily disease
Atop etheric wonder
smoke and cloud
transport ecstasy's confetti
seeking the first breeze to nowhere
the embracing calm of everywhere
Here
Existence sans time
day and night merge
with all that
was
is
and
will
ever
be
