Rain Lily
A single long event, Earth so far, evolves This rain lily And humanity. But what of what Has not occurred? I have no word For what is not. And if a thought That never happens Never happens again, Is that repetition?
Repetition? Perhaps...yet...in parallel realities, could it not all be happening simultaneously? Or maybe not. Too scary to contemplate...would indicate multiple versions of "I"...! *smiles* A truly brilliant poem, Geo...and I love the photo! Really striking.:))
Thank you, Ygraine! Operations of a multiverse are surely beyond our comfort zone. If our identities leak over to other continua, surely our utility rates would go up.
Oh Delores, I don't know. Can thought grasp the absence of itself? Can thoughtlessness? It's one of those times I wish my parents had done better job on my brain.
O_Jenny, you got it right! All possibilities are assembling in an infinite set --a universe in expansion. The question is a test of whether or not our definitions extend beyond what can be known. Will relay lily compliment to Norma.
Thank you Piseth san. Since this is a non-commercial site I took the liberty of neutralizing "ผลบอลเมื่อคืน" as a back-link. Closely as I can translate, it means "News on last night" in Thai. Best wishes.

DeleteWhat a beautiful lily! And perhaps that which has not occurred could be called "possibility" ... possibly. Your final question makes me smile.

DeleteThere's a CS Lewis feel to this one. My brain cells are having a party.
ReplyDeleteYou did it again, Geo. It's wonder full.
Wonder full Robyn, most kind. There are those writers and artists who can impose order upon the fantastic --we learn a lot from them.
DeleteI think that way when I dream ... Love, cat.
ReplyDeleteWelcome! And yes, much of dreaming is our thoughts set free. My friend, Willie, calls it "Night School".
DeleteAnd thank you, for reading my poem.

DeleteGlorious poetry my friend!
ReplyDeletethis pretty serene image goes well with the flight of your thoughts !
Thank you, Baili, most kind.
DeleteIf it's a thought
ReplyDeleteIt matters not
If it happens
Because
Well, I don't know
The more we think
The more we drink
In the delight
Of what's probable
And what's possible
And what's more
There's no score
Of such things in nature
Other than mountains
And gorges and canyons
And of course lilies
And humanity feels like
An altogether different beast
Or I might be a little young
And a lot more dumb
To see it for what it is
KK, your increasing skill at English verse astonishes me. Keep writing. You have a gift.
DeleteThank you Geo.
DeleteIt is only because of your thought provoking poetry that I was able to try a hand
