Millions of Souls

Furious the pace of change Placid the calm of reflection Millions of souls spinning through time Never pausing once for direction

Your poem reminds me of a theory that all events in "time" are occurring at once. But I can also see souls crossing paths - some bound for heaven and others for earth. You said quite a lot in a short verse, Gordon. Very interesting!

Thank you for the interesting comment about all events 'in time' occurring at once. Time is such an elastic concept. Thanks for the encouragement, Carolyn! Happy Thursday, Gershon

You're right, of course, Anne-Lise: It should be 'billions of souls.' Just didn't like the sound of 'billions' in the poem. Sounded like Trump-ish hyperbole somehow. lol. Thanks for the support, Gershon

Brilliant and thought provoking verse, Gershon. It is interesting to stop and think of so many different lives being lived in one place, all at the same time. Best wishes, Evelyn :)

We all need to take moments for placid reflection to face all these extreme changes, very well put ~
