Hope is the circumference of life
Faith is the circle of the fall
Creation the mighty exponent of
Oxygen and water, blood and time
History notes love is posterior
To fate, that seal of light
That spreads what we were
And mixes it with the cycles
*
That never stop, only recede to start again
Revelation cannot end with
Going blind, we learn to listen
Silence is the jewel of posterity
The future, the brimming Deity in our eyes
Perhaps we ask too large a place
No less to explore the furthest skies
Hope remains the circumference
*
Faith ends all beliefs of smaller bundles
Creation the happening where we exist
Open to all accidents of loss
Yes, oxygen, water, blood, time
These too will be taken away.

This is beautiful. I love the picture that goes along with it as well.. My favorite lines are “Revelation cannot end with
Going blind, we learn to listen
Silence is the jewel of posterity”
My favourite of yours
Wow really, what makes you say that Alex?
Great topics to write about. It flows so neatly and each line cascades neatly to the one below. So many striking and thought-provoking images. I agree with Gina too as for those lines being my favourite, though the opening thought is a close second.
that’s great to know, very helpful feedback thanks for your time. How is your writing going these days?
Well I’ve been updating the site a lot by writing all kinds of articles, but i’m still working on my novel. Reading your work reminds me how much pleasure I used to get from writing my own poetry. There’s a magic you get in poetry and short stories that you don’t get in other genres.
Yes I require the immediate gratification that poetry can afford, I am not sure I’d have the patience for a serious literary work. Good luck on your novel, what is it called?
Thanks. The name changes, which probably isn’t a good sign, but I know I will finish it.
Well it’s great to have such a long-term project, literature is so vast, sometimes we need to set goals to get moving.
