ONE HEART  (II)-(newly revised, much longer, expanded revision)

   
   
         
ONE HEART            
             
BROKE SLOWLY            
             
LIKE FALLING LEAVES            
         
THE OTHER            
             
SHOOK COLDLY            
             
YET CLUNG            
             
TO THE TREE              
             
HERE LATE          
         
IN THE SEASON            
             
OF THEIR              
             
NATURAL FALL            
             
WITH WINTER S          
             
DEEP CLOSURE            
           
NOW SOON  
   
CLOSING IN  
   
NOW SOON        
             
COMING ON        
         
WHICH TAUGHT ME        
         
TO SEE        
         
JUST HOW        
         
EASY AND HARD        
         
IT CAN BE        
         
FOR SOME        
         
TO SIMPLY        
         
LET GO        
         
OF THE LIFE        
         
THEY HAVE KNOWN        
         
WHEN THEIR TIME        
         
HAS FINALLY COME        
         
WHICH THEN        
         
LED ME FURTHER        
         
TO REFLECT UPON        
         
JUST HOW LONG        
         
MIGHT I        
         
CLING ON        
         
TO THE LIFE        
         
I TOO HAVE        
         
ALWAYS KNOWN        
         
WHEN MY TIME        
         
HAS FINALLY COME        
         
OR PERHAPS        
         
I MIGHT SIMPLY        
         
JUST CLOSE        
         
MY EYES        
         
TAKE IN        
         
ONE MORE        
         
SWEET  LAST BREATH        
         
GENTLY HOLD      
     
IT IN      
         
SURRENDERING COMPLETELY        
         
THEN WITH        
         
A  FEARLESS  PEACEFUL
     
KNOWING SMILE        
         
SLOWLY EXHALE        
         
LETTING ALL GO        
         
AS MY RADIANT        
         
SOUL SOARS        
         
OFF AGAIN        
         
BACK INTO        
         
THE LOVE        
         
AND LIGHT        
         
ONENESS SOURCE        
         
OF ALL        
         
WE ARE        
         
BEYOND EACH        
         
SUCCESSIVE  TEMPORAL        
         
LIFETIME S  NECESSARY        
         
ETERNAL SPIRIT S        
         
EXPERIENTIAL        
         
LIFE LESSONS        
         
EITHER LEARNED        
         
OR NOT        
         
SOUL HONING        
         
JOURNEY        
         
DOWN HERE  
   
IN THIS ILLUSORY  
   
TEMPORAL DREAM  
         
UP FROM        
         
OUT OF WHICH        
         
THIS NEW        
         
LITTLE POEM S        
         
SELF REFLECTIVE        
         
METAPHORICALLY INSPIRED        
         
LITTLE STORY        
         
WAS SUDDENLY        
         
JUST BORN        
         
WHEN I WROTE        
         
DOWN  INTO WORDS        
         
THESE SEVEN        
         
SHORT  LINES        
         
OF  VISUAL THOUGHTS        
         
WHICH SUDDENLY        
         
CAME INTO        
         
AND FILLED        
         
MY HEAD        
         
WHICH SIMPLY STATED        
         
FIRST BEGAN        
         
WITH MY        
         
INSPIRED DESCRIPTION        
         
OF THAT VISION        
         
WHICH SIMPLY SAID        
         
AND BEGAN        
         
WITH THIS        
         
ONE HEART            
             
BROKE SLOWLY            
             
LIKE FALLING LEAVES            
         
THE OTHER            
             
SHOOK COLDLY            
             
YET CLUNG            
             
TO THE TREE              
         
BUT WITH THIS        
         
ALL NOW SAID        
         
I CAN ALSO        
         
NOW SEE        
         
THAT PERHAPS        
         
BEYOND JUST THIS        
         
THERE MAY BE        
         
NO OTHER        
         
GOOD REASON        
         
EXPLANATION        
         
NOR JUSTIFICATION        
         
FOR THE EXISTENCE        
         
OF THIS        
         
NEW  LITTLE POEM S        
         
SPONTANEOUS SPILL        
         
THAN WHAT        
         
YOU NOW SEE        
         
BEFORE YOU        
         
HERE        
       
REGARDLESS        
       
OF WHETHER        
       
IT HAS        
       
OR HOLDS        
       
ANY TRUE MEANING        
       
OR NOT        
       
FOR BOTH NEITHER        
       
THE QUESTION        
         
NOR MEANING        
       
CAN FIND        
       
NOR HAVE        
       
NO PLACE HEREIN        
       
IN WHICH        
       
TO SAFELY LAND  
   
IN THIS LIKEWISE  
   
ILLUSORY  
   
NEW  LITTLE POEM     
       
SO I GUESS        
       
PERHAPS      
       
ONE MIGHT SAY      
       
MORE SIMPLY      
       
AS A RATHER  
 
NOWADAYS  
       
ARCHAIC FIGURE      
       
OF COLLOQUIAL SPEECH      

I GUESS      
       
THAT S ALL      
       
SHE WROTE FOLKS
     
HERE      
     
ON THIS ONE

WELL

THAT IS
     
AT LEAST    
     
FOR      
     
NOW
