Weaving Becomingness
Clotho once wove a weave so fine,
so exquisite,
its rainbowed hues left none
witnessing it without tears.
The fabric entwined
that thus clothed
the heroes who donned it
throughout the eons,
protected them from harm
and allowed them access
to the most private of seclusions,
the most secreted mazes,
the deepest cavernistic halls,
the highest mountainous peaks;
on the bottomest of ocean floors
they ambled slowly;
on the thinnest of clouds
they tread with surety.
Do you wear the rainbow robe
that makes of nine heads
a simple stoney sculpture?
Do you wield the power
interlinked with donning such responsibility?
Wearing and wielding such power
wends its way beyond
one’s blood fueling movement
and into innovative inaugurations:
life becomes
and constantly becomingness
generates,
rather than is
or simply being…

About this poem
Every aspect of Enstorying which is what a proper exploring of any Mythology or Mytheme or Myth or Deity or Entity or Divinity or Divine Power or Presence truly entails if it be more than a simple exegesis or accounting or recanting or repudiation, etc., basically anything self-motivated does not properly "enstory", though it may "entale" or "entell" quite dramatically, and so it is that an enstorying of a combining of rainbow garb and perfect weaving was undertook. It may fall far short of the ideal for any reader or all, and if so, please accept the humblest apologies for failing to reach you. As is the case of most of my poetry, it is less me and more inspired every day as I fortunately grow older. more »
