Deciphering Self In Context



O' world, how I hold you at arm's length,
I harvest in familar reach, your bounty.
But of my heart, deeper is the strength,
I insinuate into, further beyond counting.

Into your secret recesses, forage touch,
savor sweet, eternal luminances so fair.
Take entreaty of sacred dispense much,
find seeded domain of panspermia rare.

In my heart lies true mind, share of state,
thy morphic field of dream now manifest.
The thrust of life throughtout all substrate,
yearning of eternal mandate, does attest.

In the details you harbor the Godly hand,
fractal and vector unfold in divine parlance.
Structure and texture in romance to stand,
in timely order of random inputs in dance.

Nothing compares to what's learned here,
in heart's circle to embrace the all unknown.
To understand my part in parcel gone near,
I come know myself, in what you've shown!

I recently found out my grandmother used to rhyme all herletters to anyone. Go figure. I hope you all enjoy my ranting! I do like what I've seen other's post. more…
