Taking Stock

Taking Stock © 2021 by John T Haupt I Here is my experience-- My epistemology. This morning’s sun’s heat shines with light and with moving energy, Through my scarlet curtain darkly, Casting shadowy forms of patterns on the wall. They Share their shadows inward to the chambers of my dreaming mind, That discerns in them patterns and shapes and meanings With which they would be otherwise bereft, so it seems. II Taking stock. While taking stock, I keep pace with the ticking clock. As the great world around me disappears, Increasingly my world exists between my ears, where Outside my vision, and inside, do appear to be Universes of time and space awaiting patient me, In this precise and fluid momentary radiation of an instant, in the which None other moment might be mine, nor space inhabited (so happily) For all eternity.
