the spiritualist spirit -

the ether is alive with oscillations
          pulsations and electric frequencies
              satellite and shortwave intonations
     invisible, yet carried on the breeze

neutrinos and photonic modulations
          infrared and x-rays, promptly spun
               ultraviolet streams and applications
     gamma rays and ions from the sun

ozone filled with radio transmission
          microwaves pass thru us constantly
               the residues of past nuclear fission
     all that we have yet perceived to "be"

I've always had an issue with believing
          the paranormal "ghosts" phenomenon
               yet, with all the atmosphere's receiving
     who am I to say what's here ... or gone?

Jesse Rowe Date: 10/12/2018 8:29:00 PM Indeed there is so much around us that we KNOW about that we cannot perceive. To think we have discovered all (or even most) is probably quite laughable. Just think about how little we know people 100 years ago knew... 100 years from now our descendants will surely think the same of us. Login to Reply Gregory Richard Barden Date: 10/13/2018 4:21:00 PM Indeed, you are so right, Jesse, and so well-said ... we have yet to scratch the surface, so how can we truly doubt the existence of what we can't see or percieve in the tangible ways, when so much exists beyond our perceptions already? Thank you for the comment, my friend! :-)

P.S. Awtry Date: 10/12/2018 4:35:00 PM this poem puts me in awe of the mind that created it and the Creator of the Creation, too. Login to Reply Gregory Richard Barden Date: 10/13/2018 4:19:00 PM You are much too kind, my friend, but thank you so much - this means a lot to me. Blessings, PS! :-)
