Poetry to Inspire You
Extended
waking in the night with nowhere to go
peaceful respite in the stillness
hearing the no sound that makes the ears ring
emptied of worry and illness
aware of the breath, even and soft
the only movement thru time
the temptation to count released in the dark
allowing the rhythm to rhyme
and then the visions, the grasses that blow
on the plains of renewal within us
the matrix of life extended once more
out of the realm of what was

In the Spin
the spin of this planet is polar in nature
the north and the south holding the axis points
in the north the spin is clockwise in nature
in the south, too, all points turning, seeking the sun
to live on this planet we can be positioned at the equator
it’s a long, long journey to travel to the next day
to those in the arctics the journey is different
and a benefit from the slow way they spin?
now spin in
in the stable arctic short spin cycles
it’s a place conducive to the journey within
equatorial spin is the full planet’s circumference
the centrifugal force at its strongest
as a result of the spin
faster and
faster
spin
like
a
top
all make the journey in 24 hours
all face the east as the sun starts to rise
but what is the effect of the distance so travelled
and what is the sense of being
circular wise?
it is easy to launch from equatorial platforms
it’s easy to visit the far reaching realms
lift off is experienced by the explorer
a freeing of spirit for those
at the helms
