Mind ramblings through a poetic montage.

Time expands on 

endless infinity

ticking silently.

Light cowers

in shadows dark.

Nightmares descend

around dreams embracing.

Madness laughs around

questions answered.

Black sails map

uncharted waters.

A path disappears

into a forest inviting.

Bright lights burn

shade less grounds.

Today's percussion chills

the bones of tomorrow's surrealism.

Dilated pupils look through

eye sockets empty.

Atoms of life

watch the eclipse

electrons look on encircling.

While Mother Earth bastes

in the sun waiting.

In a land of no return

life stretches.....

                          for a moment.

Mind ramblings is an apt title for this piece, for it comes across as a stream of consciousness type of musing on a variety of topics. Some sound like physics, such as the opening lines. Others sound like snatches of partially remembered dreams, while the line about mother earth basting could come out of today's headlines about climate change. The final lines are enigmatic. All of it is delivered in a spare, rapidly paced manner. Very interesting work here.

Indeed a montage Andrew. This has serious undertones with the planet and its survival questioned by the actions of us humans. Thought provoking free association!

okay just how many Andrews are in that head of yours LOL at no time can I ever tag your voice LOL I should learn not to expect anything when I read you but just pretend its the first time that I read you every time and then I wouldn't be staring at the headlights anymore:) Life is indeed imperiled Andrew we are all seeing it some of us face it others buy chocolate bars. this is a fantastic write

Andrew, this poem reminds the reader he is but a speck in this universe and time, heading unwittingly into a black hole of not only emptiness but nothingness, where our individual lives, efforts, artifacts, etc. don't influence anything. We're mere matter that really doesn't matter. Sad but true, and more depth than the mind wants to accept.

[andrew mitchell]

THanks Robert, yes we are all that just that, specks of no significance.

hmmmmmmmm poetically/ intellectually/spiritually inspiring ... love the inclusion of Science in your meandering, Andrew ... there is a lot that I like about this one sir ...the paths of dark and light we all come to know so well in our lives ... its never a clear case until one chooses firmly eh!? the universe is so clearly on a path of no return ... things are humming and buzzing and changing in an eternal instant ..your closing for me is the cat's meow sir! thanks for sharing this rather introspective side of you .. i just knew it was in there somewhere ;)))))))))))

Speaks to that feeling that one is watching not just with the eyes but with more expansive senses but we are only somewhat aware of the bigger picture. Loved this:)

Thank you Pryde for a lovely review.
