Spasms

These quakes and shivers of mine, Are they tales forebode? Language spat, drool untold, Encrypted bits by line. Does the anchor sit? Cracks in dorsal fins, Pinch the nodes whose nervous system knows, Better than to think. Juniper pine, ferment pepper mend, The ache of later hours, To quench the essence ever tends, To that which self devours. Canticles of echoed places, Hummed in spaces felt at once, Coded corpus, temporal traces, And seemly more than nonce. If only I was less than this, As only now's enough, To be all, I'd be remiss, Missing all the stuff.

I absolutely love this poem. Going to fav it immediately. I stumbled upon your page by chance, but I am so glad I was led here. I especially love how the language dances between the physical and the metaphysical, like a coded message from yourself.... to yourself. The final stanza really struck me — the tension between presence and totality, and the quiet wisdom in choosing now. Be Blessed, always - Hiba :)

Well apart from God.' Who knows all.? I mean Apparently we use only a third of brain in the Main.' Hmm?? Is that reflective of (a greater role to come?) In the spirit.? Or of the 800 median years As portrayed in the early Bible patriarchs lifespan.? I coulf keep going, yet thats enough i Think.?

If only we could choose which parts of the brain we were using at any given moment
