The Unveiling

The Unveiling Vision A realization Heartfelt revelation Of survival amid isolation And with the noblest of intention To defy mortality and attain regeneration Not every journey reaches its ultimate destination Still one sigh respired diffuses throughout all of creation Tenderly awaken a dormant realm of reincarnation Distant voices chant hymns in unison Resuscitating desiccated carnation Such a magical rejuvenation Of cosmic proportion Sanctification Affirmation Union Penned: 03/28/2022 4:12 a.m. Lake Worth Florida USA

Superb. A poem that has made me think. And repeat read. And think. And repeat read. Not exactly the same thing but leading on from your work and David's comment I'm reminded of a question I always ask myself when I delete something on a computer. What happens to the information...where does it go? Cheers - Gary

Thanks for the warm comment and for expressing your curiosity as well Gary. Much appreciated! It seems that as humans, we feel like we are trapped inside a maze which entrance has already completely shut, and there doesn't seem to be an exit in sight. Will we have the ability to float above and drift away towards the answer we sought? Time might have the answer, but will it speak to anyone? Have a good day...ab

Beautiful piece of work Anselmo in more ways than one, you can be sure our atoms will get recycled, but it’s our consciousness I cannot get my head around, information cannot be destroyed it’s impossible, so I often ponder where it goes to, a wonderful poem cheers David

Is there a conceivable starting point of consciousness, and where is its final destination if there is? In my view, these are two of the most profound and enigmatic questions that humanity has been asking for eons, where assuming that time knows the answers, will forever remain silent. Thank you for the inspiring comment, and thank you for sharing your keen perception, David! Enjoy your day...ab
