With Light I Paint... Part II by jackyamsc

Last Tangent Departs @ 11:59

Transcendent events will soon take place
(Casual dress is preferred);
These events will reshape time and space.
Suggestions will NOT be heard.

The demiurge will make an appearance
Her presentation, I hear, is stunning.
She'll add bells and whistles to the old routine,
And hit the ground running.

Please, disregard the ancient ways.
The old spool's run out of slack.
The bad guys ain't showing up, this time;
Their hand-car jumped the track.

Fish gotta swim, as the saying goes,
Well—here's a fine brass kettle.
Don’t give the gadget too much gas;
You'll just end up grinding metal.

See you keep your wits about you!
Heed closely to the hetman's cries.
And, REALIZE, you'll NEVER see the truth
By looking through another man’s eyes.

A brilliantly insightful piece of poetry. The paths to the future are infinitely varied and it is all too easy to get lost. You've got to follow your own nose. :) kath xxx

Wow...La, too clever and yet with cliches, we are heading full steam into the future and crafting our own faster than we realize? I like it too well, still so sorrily intrigued.

Yep! The only thing to hold on to is your inner guidance. These little tremors are PMS. Wait 'til the menses start!
