Perpetual Motion

Gears juicily primed, pendulum swung, the first step on rung elevating – the first palpating rocket blast into orbit, reaching escape velocity pulse into pulse into pulse, divinely evolving, expressing what will my muse inspire today, rigid form, or Free-verse~ poetry’s perpetual motion?

Hi Si; I guess part of the mystery of writing we share -- even composing in our sleep, a writer always on-call. Blessings my friend.

Such a true poem Some poems flash into the mind, others need a great deal of work. I liked the comparison with a rocket launch. I'm a happy face emoji.

Hi Hilda; so much fun when inspired to write we just take off, like a rocket. Blessings my friend.

We do not know what will come out of our quill or how our muse is going to inspire us, next moment. However one thing is sure, 'the first step on the rung' is placed and the climb has begun. The stage is set and and thoughts are in motion. Let us wait for the outcome. Joe, I appreciate your ability to convey a great deal of thoughts through concise lines. Beautiful.

I love the metaphor and the perpetual motion. I agree. I never know from one day to the next what I'll create...the energy and creativity are as you say 'in perpetual motion. Nicely done...have a great evening, Joe!

As I see it, Joe: without gusto, passion, one is merely going through the motions. Worthless in my opinion. Our way, therefore, is that of discovery, to live bravely, journey faithfully, sometimes recklessly through His Blessed Maze of Miraculous being. This does not mean, selfishly, without respect for just and Righteous Spiritual Laws of Reciprocity. A Divine Gift.
