Becoming.
The journey does begin when to this measured plane of
conscious time and dust came forth a travelling spirit
seeking warmth and love. Alas the love that willing wisp had
wished came not to he and now a soul on wing his light does
range. To be alone his lot this life, to gain a son and lose a
wife, he gazed below on fields of poppies dry and shed the
tears which fell from laiden skies as pearls on people laid in
earth below.
About this poem
I would say the poem/proetry speaks for itself. But primarily the piece is about becoming, being, living, yearning and ultimately dying in a world in which there is seemingly no rhyme or reason as to why we take the form we do applying to all conscious and living forms of life..
