::::::Undercurrents of Life::::::

Oh come tide wash over me, this agnostic has no role Take me under ice cold brine, feed electric eels my soul Eat away, charge these eyes, i’ll light up unknown shoals Shock me back upon life again, euthanised within charcoal In time a diamond will form, when compression takes its toll Precious I wait until I’m found, come creation make me whole BiteSize Poem no.57 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Line Gauthier Monorhyme checked rhymezone.com 12/18/22

Heya Seeker, it’s a pretty deep one ok, trying to figure out how/where our consciousness goes, my current thinking is it’s eternal and indestructible because of the information paradox, thanks so much for stopping by, cheers David

Electric eels good God, startling baptism by electricity imagery a requiem for an apostate. Outcome--final rites. Illuminating I got a charge ou t of it! BOL

Great comments Anaya, “requiem for an apostate” what a great line for a horror movie, I’m agnostic myself waiting with the electric eels on the bottom, open to all shocks and illumination, way to go! cheers David

Interesting one David, where are we from, where are we going. I often wonder how many transitions we go through in our existence. Tom. Good final, shame it went to penalties.

Thanks Tom, I honestly don’t know how many transitions consciousness goes through, but I believe it’s eternal and part of creation, however that happened, yes delighted the best team won, Argentina was written in the stars today, brilliant cheers David

David, you have written a wonderful Monorythme with deep meaning. To provide beauty and light to a man's soul, which is typically unattractive and filled with darkness. A superbly written work with a structure that is perfectly constructed by the size of your defined terms. Best wishes for this festive season.

Thank you so much Lasaad, yes trying to see past the darkness of my unanswered questions, but I do believe in consciousness being eternal, cheers David

David, this is excellent writing in perfectly shaped form by the length of your chosen words. Your message? To transform a man’s dark soul into one beautiful and filled with light. Your method of charged transition is ingenious!

Your lines were cohesively interwoven like that eel swimming in dark depths before surfacing.

Thanks so much Jenna, I slept on this one last night and finished it this morning, just needed a few tweaks, you’re right it is spiritual, something inside won’t allow me to be apostate, probably the electric eels, wherever that line came from I don’t know, cheers David
