I can fly, not!

Just when you thought

you were free floating

on the words of om,

the word um brought

you down to earth involuntarily

and invariably to floor level.

Because the word fall became

the new order.

If one could fly we would

but like a fly with no wings

we were given the walk instead.

When a transcendental moment

became more transitional

and even more transparent.

sharp sarcastic irony as the fly looses wings ... pretty deep thinking sir! seems a pity after all the um and om your speaker is left with broken cookies and red balloons ... wonder if he will try again ... i imagine free floating can be kind of addicting ;}

lol Einstein I am no more a fly myself ready to be swatted. I must admit I tried meditation once but the creative mind would not switch off. No out of body experiences just lots of ums. Tried yoga once too, nearly left me in rigor mortis position, alive but in a awkward position.

ahahaha well...one can't be blamed for trying right?! i have tried and do both from time to time and in my own way ... i taped yoga for old people (about 20 episodes) and do them when me back screams too loud ... quieting the mind is the most difficult when we try ... ironic funny thing about meditation eh!?

Yes day dreaming is much easier!

i have had lots of "um's"

poets probably shouldn't think they walk on creative waters,
because that lake can dry up in an instant
and how deeply we think we create in our minds might not translate to the page.

Thanks Jacob, indeed i do suffer from non translatable nonsense hoping someone will make sense. Maybe my lake should be frozen over!
