Sometimes I Am Not Born

Close your eyes and it is there:

The possible.

 

Everything you recognize

And everything you cannot fathom.

 

Infinite differences limp and spark

Throughout the cosmic strings

That hold it all together

 

Where time surrenders all impression

And what we know as life is lost

In everchanging variations.

 

Far away they click and rattle,

The never ending planets,

Through their own personal suffering

 

Another us, looking up,

Failing to believe

 

That sometimes we are someone else

And sometimes

We are not at all.

Nice one about wandering about in the `negative cpability`

(and enjoying it)

Enough connections in it for the imagination to get a grip on.

Good!

It's really a beautiful poem from the start up to the end. I take this poem as a fantastic ability of SOME human beings to feel not only our Mother Earth, but the whole Universe. Great poem!
Liked the words: "cosmic strings that hold us together" and "sometimes we are someone else".
With warmest wishes,
Larisa
