Notes About The Poem

The Fatality

Before birth
I was the universe
All knowing, all embracing
Molecules of beauty in floating meditations
I was everywhere 

Then............
The darkness.........
The womb.......
I begot limbs and flesh
Imprisoned inside this human frailty

I was freed, exposed, pushed, fallen into humanity
Lights, voices, sins, I screamed
They cut off my only bond to the universe
Here, a baby an orphan of the heavens
Imprisoned upon the imperfections of human realms

Hell.................
The holy book of sins...........
The great sadness.........
I miss the cosmic beauty
Stuck here, the devils collection of earthly kin

Days... weeks.....decades…. despair......
I plotted and planned
The great escape
From this finite boxed in land
I begged the infinite, and danced with infinity

The universe waltzed
I twirled with insightful delight
Soon, to be rejoined with eternal light
To be free, to roam the stars
My death, now rejoined with the heavens and all of thee

You visit, candles and crocus upon Parisian stone
I am neither there or even here any more
I have become what I once was, healed and whole
All knowing, all embracing
I am God, the universe once more

Robert Lindley June 27, 2016 at 10:48 AM Light and Darkness, both hold immense power. Man thinks himself great yet surely we are a tiny , tiny speck in a small galaxy that may even in itself contain other tiny specks light-years away.. The Universe sings-we may join in but for a very, very brief moment(A MERE BLINK OF THE EYE). Deep and strong verses my friend... A7 Arthur Vaso July 2, 2016 at 11:30 PM Thanks so much Robert.
