A mountain sits
And a river flows
A mountain suffers her tears
And the infiltration of life
Wildflowers necklace it
As the goats dance up and down its rocky parts.
It can wiggle off snow as well as a buffalo a gnat
Knowing it will be better for the snow to leave for awhile and come back when it has changed from its journey back.
The mountain stays
And only changes slowly
And it comforts the variable lives
That tend toward a flippant love
All around it
How weak is a volcano to succumb to its burning lust? How selfish.
A mountain is our shoulder
It endures the triviality and variability of short bursts of butterflies
In the meadow
Constantly
And outliving most of us.
Like the crying sky whose tears fall on him
And forget on a sunny day that he will always be her shoulder
Even when there are clouds between them.

The Winds of Time
The winds of time and their numeric certainty
are inevitable in our inner-active mortal world.
The winds reflect the turbulent nature and the
ever-changing situations that define humanity.
Time marches forth with its all due precision,
whilst the winds portray mankind’s inflection.
Time, as a constant variable, is always there in
all forms of human contact and true interaction.
The winds always speak to the uncertainty and
the factor of variability that shapes all humanity.
The winds of time also give all of us poets a true
metaphor by which we can ponder mankind’s fate.

all can be as 'wholes' of creation...
it is written
evolution is one's own variability...
no two exactly the same
according to this reality's rules...
each perspective be as unique
yet all share the same constants...
meaning realities demands are scaled
and those in charge can not be as wholes...
claiming to be sent by some god
yet with the knowledge of a fall guy...
unable to tell truth because they know it not
just make up realities based on some momentary logic...
that fills the vacuums of their own mind
stan sand
