I can feel
the warmth
of my name
as it slips
from your lips,
fills the space
in between,
resonates
eternally,
echoes across
the universe,
and becomes
part of the cosmos.
The vehicle
through which
consciousness
radiates
is accepted
as temporal.
We walk
without fear.
We talk
without fear.
Always connected.
Always free.

:)

    I really love the imagery, and the sense of space. It brought to mind one time when I appeared on a local TV show. Later I was talking to a physics friend about the experience. He told me that the signal carrying my image had now been released into the cosmos, and would be travelling forever. Your poem really caught this idea. It made me think about how far that image has traveled and where it is.

    Thanks for sharing that, westside. :) I'm so glad you connected my poem with that experience as it's precisely what it's all about. That we really are eternal, in a sense.

    pinon! Nice to see you! Are you still taking lots of beautiful photographs??? I remember I liked your B&W's with the splashes of colour, in particular, your umbrealla pic. I hope you're still capturing all the beauty! :)

    wow...great piece B.E.
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    Nice!!
    I could imagine REM's Walk unafraid playing in the background, whilst I read it...

    I really like the final verses, simple but powerful
