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

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
