NaPoWriMo 12:30 ~ In Transit Across The Celestial Meridian

by The AOMuse

Rolling high noon
Sun like yolk of egg intact
perched upon a plate of sky
feeding freely light
to energize human activity

Twin pistols burning hot
aimed and ready
unable to Corral
an O.K. sense of ethics
before boiling point
when gunfight ensues
no bystander innocent
safe from catchment
of crossfire

We are trapped
in passage of time
reading the milliseconds
questioning a desire
to take our time
as the day labors on
laborers longing
for their time in the Sun
so work seems tedious
and reward lackluster

Let us prefer being seen
as players in a reality show
called Earth
where a Sun creeping
across the celestial meridian
is recognized to be
a deity worthy of worship

For only working ritual
which will earn you Heaven
is cultivating
a life of respect
for planetary cohabitation
and biospheric cooperation

Anything less
would be uncivilized.

NaPoWriMo 8:30 ~ Passing Time

by The AOMuse

…paused
in wretched
onslaught
of rigid gridlock
no longer

whereas once
was i
stuck in traffic
impatiently
pacing myself
to bypass any
extracurricular
off trail excursion

scented fields of
French lavender
and Calla lily
posed an
unwelcome
diversion
from rapid
forward
progression.

Passion Time.

…now i pioneer
fleet footed freedom
in every visible
oft ignored
corner of the city
privy to passive eyes
dancing between
the rhythm
of ticking clockwork
where work stops
my workshop opens
wide and receptive
perceptive
to modest changes
in decor
evolving as an
Earth underneath.

Past Time.

…redefining punctuality
as the measurement
of my ability
to always mind
the timely arrival
at any place
i presently stand

rucksack packing
time o’ plenty
so should i see you
scurrying hurriedly
to catch up to life
i’d gladly give you
a piece o’ mine

contrary to popular
opinion
time is not money
time is time
mostly invaluable
worth only
what few parties
reach in agreement

leaving time
bursting
with opportunity
to choose
movement
or stillness
as the only way
you can lose
is if you
won’t determine
for yourself
how to use
your Time.

Ent-elligentsia

john-angel oak

we are the wretched
stretching paleolithic arms
beyond formal perimeter
we have chosen to grow out
rather than up
there is nothing skyward
which concerns us
we are discerning divinity
in the turning
of this Earth
and learning humility
crawling through humus
amongst fallen fingers
of chlorophyll-ed comrades
spanish moss conjoins
our journey
an obtuse beauty
lingers
where we are linked
in symbiosis
an exploratory oasis
children dangle
about our branches
dancing across air
and take home
tiny tufts of our hair
as craftwork substance
the sustenance
of our purposed patchwork
the closest thing
you will know
to the respiratory system
of your planetary residence
your guardian angel oak


The Mystery of Life Pt. 1

by The AOMuse

we are all born with little to no preparation for this thing called life it is that which is simply thrust upon us with a break from our watery world and a bright jolt of light followed by some very extensive physical violation by people called doctors by this world so begins our introduction to this thing so aptly called life from the old english life meaning continuance and perseverance we are pulled from those wonderful wombs which have reared us for what might have been to us an eternity before we were introduced to this world’s concept of time and suddenly we are asked to adjust to being placed in this continuum but we do not adjust we simply grow older and wiser to the ways of maneuvering within something we do not ever truly understand we grow maladjusted pursuing all that this world directs us to pursue tailoring our interests within the boundaries of what this world deems acceptable we cloak ourselves in mist and shadow never truly experiencing the deepest degrees of who we are occupy our time with those base survival needs identified in maslow’s hierarchy when we finally seek self actualization it has most often been motivated by the realization of our own mortality which offers no real insight into the knowledge of god and self at all because such knowledge is sought after out of a purely selfish purpose…end rant for today
