Notes About The Poem

Rambling

Written: February 16, 2024 "Be not careless in deeds, nor confused in words, nor rambling in thought". Quote by Marcus Aurelius _______________________________________ We remain drawn to places we recognize well. A mirage of lovely sights where dreams swell.  Rumbling rain clouds—odd swirls—rise at the pond.  Whirling thrill, an ecstatic genesis, swirling beyond. Standing face to face, level with the moon. Do poets and stargazers witness novel swoons? In fierce verdict, the moon has closed its eyes. If the sun stops beaming, how will moonlight arise? The clouds cover the stars, and ideas sparkle. Moon may decode terms by light dots in partial You may be a flame or a mirror; both emit light. Yet a flame must endure, rambling as glass blight. Never shall the sun set, nor the moon rise. Now it's time to detect without any prize. Return the favor to those who wronged me. Pursuing revenge, this tale is timeless history. There is an outcome to every deed.  We are bound by Newton's laws of flow heed. Entrails broken down resolve the algorithm. Gaze upon your rambling in the same rhythm. Sample my gilded projectile—hear the blast. That inspires fear and mystery—peace is the cast. Witness the radiant beams piercing overnight.  That stumbles in the blink—of an eyesight. They draw to ramble in the void space. With shades of deep, melancholic grace. Antagonism elicits rambling to grow and thrill. A mute bird flies and glides in their quill.

I liked this poem. It contains convoluted thought. I noted "Return the favor to those who wronged me, pursuing revenge, this tale is timeless history.". Very interesting.

In one breath, I absorbed it all, amazing that of God's creations make sublime and a taste of a children's rhyme. Even more we are witnesses, like our love for poetry, we gaze upon what others may not see and tell each other in words of poetry. Loved your rambling, there is something about it. A little bit of everything SP! faving!

Dear Sotto, Your poem is a captivating whirlwind of thought, defying the neatness of Marcus Aurelius' quote and instead embracing the unfettered exploration of ideas. I found myself enthralled by its journey. While the poem doesn't provide definitive answers, its beauty lies in the exploration itself. It challenges us to embrace the messiness of thought, to revel in the sparks of ideas, and to acknowledge the weight our words carry. It's a testament to your artistry, Sotto, that you can create such depth and beauty while refusing to be confined by convention. - Blessings, Daniel
