how the metaphysical transforms my actions
Saturday, 22. March 2008, 20:30:12
now, in the chamber of my quiet heart
this living, breathing, a good enlightened self
so often chided in solitude
for errant sins of vain entrapments
still settles sweetly silent in the morn
presently, not dreaming and still as stone
a gift, intelligence, alighted in my hollow head
a missive from above so delicate
a delicacy for a truth starved brain
suddenly, with fluttering heart
grasping the rails of my two mile-long legs
i shuddered deep within my earthbound soul
struck dumb and alert at once
so ready to ride the visit of inspired thought
which of itself intended to leaven this tiny being
a higher state of awareness
i may try to convey the oneness with words
which come in tangled lines, attempt to moor
this astral visit
enclosing bright sparks
in a book
and harbor them in libraries
for dust to settle on and obscure the engines
which drive me on my way.
so i, tempted again
follow fragments of truth
vagrant visions of glory
into the fray 'it'
charges bewildered into action
now running on the residue of truth
this living, breathing, a good enlightened self
so often chided in solitude
for errant sins of vain entrapments
still settles sweetly silent in the morn
presently, not dreaming and still as stone
a gift, intelligence, alighted in my hollow head
a missive from above so delicate
a delicacy for a truth starved brain
suddenly, with fluttering heart
grasping the rails of my two mile-long legs
i shuddered deep within my earthbound soul
struck dumb and alert at once
so ready to ride the visit of inspired thought
which of itself intended to leaven this tiny being
a higher state of awareness
i may try to convey the oneness with words
which come in tangled lines, attempt to moor
this astral visit
enclosing bright sparks
in a book
and harbor them in libraries
for dust to settle on and obscure the engines
which drive me on my way.
so i, tempted again
follow fragments of truth
vagrant visions of glory
into the fray 'it'
charges bewildered into action
now running on the residue of truth

Thankyou Scott. Though subjective thoughts, they seem universal.
That´s exellent poetry. My deepest respect.

We ARE subjective beings !
And what happens 2 you ind your soul , happens 2 ALL of us !
And when you share it, it becommes a part of ALL of us!
There was a real feeling of ... good in your poem, and believe me, i don't say that unless !!!
One of the things i have had very hard 2 belive is:
Good loves you, and want's the best for you !
YOU, just have 2 embraese it, ....and ....live it

My dear friend...thank you. You feed me.

Allow me to post here some pictures I took after "climbing" on Mt Olympus...They help me cope with the days I feel I have "fallen".
this is a sunrise experience I had with my late husband on Mt.Olympus after spending the night in a hut:
I thought today you will appreciate it even more!
if you are interested to more fantastic pictures of more professionals here it is a link:

i know about alex gray. (his direction doesn't appeal to me.)
psychedelic imagery posing as real knowledge is just too much for me to take.
if it's the picture of the crystal behind the curtain, i only included that because i thought it somehow symbolized how something clear and mathematical can be veiled and obscure. we know there's something important about life. but we don't understand what it is.
By I_ArtMan, # 24. March 2008, 05:52:00
I did visit NYU the other day and looking at his work "mirrors" an image was similar with your crystal behind the curtain!
I was puzzled when I saw it in your post. Your style it is always different but now I get you.
The human mind never fails to connect images and to always wonder!I don't know why in this case my brain made this connection.
have a great day!
By the way, I find his work unusual but it is not my cup of tea

from one poet to a Great Poet - i salute you bro'
the eloquence, and subtle meaning floating between each line,
is profound. i can add no more.
here, greater minds than mine, q.e.d., have already said what i would have wished to say with great depth of description and applause. wonderful!
lp - your 'older bro'

.........
you sliced
the moment
and between
the metaphor
painted
a scene.
you diced
analogy
and then
mixed
eloquence
with gilded
pen.
you soared
you swept
you wrote
and wept
and when
the
masterpiece
was done
you turned
your face
toward the sun.
dear God,
if i in
all my years
could write
to summon
readers' tears
i would be
filled
with what
you are,
and capture
hearts 'neath
sol's
bright star

May I
of course!
I love the way you do see things!
I was smiling because of the way "I saw" the subject in your msg!
It looked like my B-day
I was born May 1
I guess my twisted way of seeing things always gives my laughter!
I can not send msgs to you or invite you as a friend(Opera does not allow it
I was always suspected you are royalty!
and yes, you may

that's fine with me. to be preserved in 'hard copy' is high praise.
i have a few things on my walls to remind me, also.
By I_ArtMan, # 25. March 2008, 19:08:13
I also need the name of the videographer so I can give him credit & can link to a site of his choice or yours.
Being human, I get all stressed & worried, forgetting that I am not really running this show but rather following directions.

It wasn't long before I had to adjust the schedule a bit and have it ready a few minutes early because they would sometimes just run home from school if they were especially hungry!
By cakkleberrylane, # 26. March 2008, 19:15:56
now talking to men about putting dough under an electric blanket to rise, it might get you in trouble.
Scott it is final, I will bring the fresh baked bread and maybe your friend cakkleberrylane,too!

the 'staff of life'... got a rise out of me.
* I_ArtMan is cooking up a storm (sublimating syllogisms simmering) "bread is good, i am good, therefore, i am cooked."
lois,
that was a 'slice of life' a lovely heartwarming way to create love. funny the way kids run everywhere. it's like they can't wait, so they run to everything.
isabel... ummm uh... it's always up. can't help it... hard drive.
"life lives for love, love lives for life". scrawled by me on "el grande" wall in mazatlan by me circa 1960. i was a guest there for two weeks along with my three friends for swimming naked; a la playa. (it was so hot).
By I_ArtMan, # 26. March 2008, 20:46:19
I am glad to know you are cooked!
now I pull a chair and I am ready to enjoy!
