And messages me
In a millennia of purpose
Proportion precipice
She will not rest...

marching through millennia

Walking with giants,
each step getting bigger

The miles—the millennia,
the search beyond

The River….
Passing water
Through time
Its message 
Deliverable
Beyond the millennia
Beyond the confusion
  —beyond

Millennia of stories in 
Earth’s archives; 
tales told of every species.  
Text book of life, 
bone history class, 
is always in session.

Taunting the day,
red moon rising,
tucking the sun, 
back into bed,
calling me forth,
her faithful soldier, 
collecting memories,
of stars for millennia, 
night's watchman,
at it again.

cold, dark midnight hour
horrendous event occurred
fleeting memories
of a lover's painful bite
one millennia ago

Countless millennia of the
Earth’s molten core 
Heaving on tectonic plates, 
Have ripped continents apart 
From gorge to sky,
The wonder is … 
They can be bonded once again,
 By a young child’s smile,
 In the mere glance of an eye....

Spin right
Mighty motors churning through the night

From the millennia
Powered wheels so long evaded capture

Vagabonds adrift
Lost at sea without her spun delight

Wheels breezing by repeating
Save us from our old familiar plight...

Will such beauty endure? It surely must.
When Mankind’s traces vanish from the Earth,
our glories turned back to primeval dust,
millennia hence. And then perchance re-birth,
starting afresh with wondering eyes to see
abiding splendour in an Autumn tree....

Millennia-long a big challenge to feed
our hungry new blood and relations in need
by hunting, collecting and later with seed;
for fear of starvation we still deal with greed.

forging
noble timeless art
brute strength and skill
reverence for the forces of fire
innate passion for working metal
precious knowledge passed down the ages
honoring with pride millennia of blacksmith ancestry

The golden chair of opulence
Seats a stately emperor,
Enrobed in royal purple hue
Of lichen moss that shrouds his bones from view.

And yet he holds you in his thrall,
Millennia since he has lived, 
You bow before his exhumed throne,
And kiss, in fealty, his toe of bone....

I dreamed that by a grey-blue sea
Familiar columns beckoned me,
An onyx temple rearing stark
Against the surf so dark.

But in the temple drawn-out screams
Destroyed nostalgic dreams—
The screams were mine, some four
Millennia ago, in life before…
Black deja-vu, on Time’s far shore....

Far away in time in space
Watching blindly from a long dead place
Phantom light millennia old
Shining through emptiness and endless cold
Sparkling as brightly in the night sky
As a twinkling tear from an ancient cry
Gracing, with diamonds, the celestial sphere
Specters of life from far off frontiers...

A cast shadow, my other self
Speaks not in flowery meter
But waits time immortal
In the darkness of a conscious mind

In spite of myself
Itself
Yourself
Drawn on every word I utter

Anticipating a near, full, or half truth
The night has no faith in reality
But a certainty that light is a millennia away 
And that shadow rules twilight...

Man has spent lots of millennia

Striving his nature to improve

He seems to have managed only

Life from our planet to remove 






(c) Demetrios Trifiatis
        17 July 2016

*Hundreds of thousands of species have disappeared and more are about 
to take the road to oblivion because of Man's thoughtless interference in nature....

Renewal of life is all around.
New green plants are rising from the ground.
Just as our Savior rose from the dead two millennia ago,
buds on the trees and new flowers show.
So we celebrate Easter during the season of spring.
It is the time for recognition of renewing.

Vast as a landscape, not a straight but a meandering one
Sometimes placid sometimes storms, but always moving
It is alive; always flowing getting lost in eddies of distraction
Sense of timelessness flowing for millennia,shaping the earth
Thoughts shape you like a quiet meditation on introspection
It doesn’t always follow a straight path and  takes its time.

*

More than two millennia have passed
Since that magnificent, dazzling star
Shined over the sleepy town of Bethlehem
To point the way to salvation:
A blessed babe, the Son of Heaven.

And yet ...

Just as all those many years ago,
One bright truth remains,
Gleaming in the night -
Wise men ...
STILL seek Him.

giants through the hour glass

stride leviathan
upon the hissing seeds of mountains
curl toes, summer freed,
about the pillars of the world
whose molten bloom
faded millennia ago
and crumbled down to dust.

upon these ancient shores
ponder as you brush aside
these clinging crumbs of mighty crags
once, a time ago
we were almost dust
and they were giants....

There is a reported

Convergence of

Science and spirit

Seen as evidence

Of a coming

Realization of what

For the millennia 

Has evaded so much

Searching..a goal

On the horizon with

A promise finally 

Of felt success..

Such may seem a story 

Of futility writ large 

Not separated from a

Beautiful story of

Infinite expression.....
