Circles of the invisible

sorenbarrett

Born dying, we race back to where we come
Pain is but a moment, life but a flash
Before birth we existed numb
A dive into death's pool just a splash

Cold water of delivery
From the womb of time fallen
naked terrestrial shivery
of nature's plant a pollen

Fragrance erased by wind
tasted by the bees
Sweet smell of those that sinned
shadowed by negatives of trees

Steam raising from a pot
condenses to fall again
transformed from what is naught
invisible ink from a dried up pen

    at first glance I couldn't see where you were going ..
    but having gone around again, it was as clear as the nose on my face ..

    • sorenbarrett

      Yea I know what you mean I can't see my nose most of the time. Thanks Neville

          Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

            Excellent write. Indeed we are all born dying and the race back does being! Amazingly deep and profound write!!! From the first line to the last, brilliant!

                The idea of "negatives of trees" terrifies me. Especially when described by "invisible ink from a dried-up pen" So nice.

                • sorenbarrett

                  Thanks Dan I appreciate your read and comments. Thinking of a dark forest what could be darker than a negative. As for invisible ink all of our poems become invisible as they are forgotten.

                  You ae right soren, being on this earth is just a flash in the pan of our existence.
