Poetry of Time/Time of Poetry


“Psychologically time is seldom homogenous but rather is as full of shapes as space.” - Robert Grudin

Poetry of Time/Time of Poetry

The pen moves smooth
From time

After

Time

Of reason and rhyme
Inscribed in the operations of a scribe

Of supernal vibes
To be imbibed

By the gods on their clouds
Shrouded in shrouds

Veiled

In

Veils

Allowing the Heavens and Hells
To be dwelled

For reasons that know
No
Reason

Other than
The

Divine

Written in seasons

As each piece
Written

Transitions
To
Timelessness

To be transferred from perception to perception

Consciousness
To
Consciousness

Inspired by the book “Time and the Art of Living” by Robert Grudin.  Tis a highly thought provoking read.

The book is broken into what I think of as windows or vistas, comprised of duality spectrums of observation, as the author seeks to understand and convey this understanding of "the dimension of time".

In the window, which inspired this piece, the author views time as a "mechanism through which moments are homogenized", equating freedom to one's perspective of this process.

For example cigarettes to black lungs or beautiful moments to love.

This inspired thoughts of Poetry,
how each poem is a very special form of such a homogenization.

How each poem from each Poet/ess is sacred...

I propose that Poetry is a distinct form of time.

Perhaps even something that exists
both in time and in timelessness, which is...

Way heavy.

Thinking of how this might be applied
to future poetic endeavors.
