Gary Onderisin Poet Prose Poetry

If This Is

If this was -


If this will be -


Just another "infinite desert":


One yet falls down to one's


Knees -


Faithfully, if need be,


Digs down, with one's own two good hands,


Digs into the burning, shifting, choking sand;


For just there:


Under the turning, biting grit, under the


Cloudless sky, the blinding sun:


Rushing, mighty, Life-Giving Water rising;


Earth-shaking calm;


Perfect, placid, Gnostic twin fish -


Lazily aware.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart February 23, 2017 at 6:59 AM Pisces Aeon? Intrigued. Gary Onderisin March 2, 2017 at 3:37 AM Maureen: The fish that i put at the end of the poem are loosely from gnostic mythology: i had the gnostic notion of pistis sophia, or heavenly wisdom in mind. so, yeah, aeons can definitely be included in relation to the above. And thank you very much for your kind words. --- gary
