Poems from D y i n g E u r o p e
What if from Tundra to cities
My people refine themselves
Until we are one finger of
The seventeen hands of the Cosmos
I’m alone on the roof
With an unlimited number of stars
Who look back upon me
With an unlimited number of eyes
We are souls created from
The same music, murmuring
Mantras of evolution
What if from Nomads to star-divers
We become custodians
To repent from centuries of destroying
Would we not then make choices
To recognize that God is dancing
In the universe and we must
Be a gift unto the worlds
Or else in gulps of light, go extinct
Blindly like any species, that failed
To arrive at a sustainable balance
I’m holding a cup of water
To the Milky Way
And she’s burning gold down on me
For I’ve become a connoisseur
Of her butterflies, strawberries, birch, hazel
And I’m a tiger on fire
I’m going extinct in my own lifetime
And it’s not my death I’m afraid of.
Wow… This is very very very beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
I’m glad you liked it Ako
I’m glad you like it Trina.

the last two lines are sublime, perfect penning poet
Yes I’m find of last lines 😛
they only work if the rest of the poem has merit and substance, yours does, then produces a sledge hammer 🙂
well these poems are free-flowing with barely a thought as to their conception, so I’m not sure of their inherent substance 🙂
Dude ! their substance is clear and present, I do not interrupt my busy schedule for anything that lacks substance 🙂
wonderful. Idea of life when you look at it all is huge, and well, alive, changeable – you’re good at getting that into words and on to paper 🙂 thanks.
Thanks Bee, yes I like how quickly change is taking place. Even if it may mean the reset of certain things.
