Vaporous

are we losing pieces of ourselves? returning to the sea, back to our beginning? is the circle thus complete, heralding the final midnight?
or do we swim toward a new dawn?

your poem is fascinating...

I love your comment, I love your wonder, thank you.

I was just watching a news segment on free divers with my students - and they mentioned how are physiology is so closely aligned with dolphins ... And how we've shed that layer but there's still a layer of it there ... Your piece makes me wonder, Was our evolution for the better?    

I think that the consciousness of animal is fascinating.  If we can learn from the dolphins, could he tell me how to return to the sea? Regardless, throughout history, the inevitable takes over with each new discovery.  For better or worse it runs its course.  I strive for peace of mind & practice compassion and tolerance.  But where should tolerance draw the line? Gold pockets and silver tongues own the world but there’s nothing just one can do about that.  It’s hard to tell if you’re being duped; nowadays more than ever. Never stop learning.  Peace of mind in our own doings.  After a while when peace fills your head, it fills your heart, and then your soul has no choice but to follow.   Animate capacity is short and life is everlasting – somewhere in time. Every day we have a choice to be positive or negative, to give in & let go, or let something in & take over.  However we choose; individually, positive or negative, that will be not only the direction of our own life, but the direction of humanity.  The sea sounds awesome.

As Patsy Cline would say,"I fall to pieces" :)

I do like Patsy Cline. Hadn't heard her in years. Thank you Hashman.  

fall-away
vestiges ......they don'make'em like the used to

They never do. It’s an aura; mystique, unique, & antique.
