I reach into my destiny:
the age when Merlin came
and enclosed this Island,
the rolling hills untamed
by man's delusion of ownership, still
engulfed in primal innocence.
A day like today, maybe:
a spring's blossoming
haunting the claiming,
as I am all-too-often
haunted by the void
I fill, or the sense of belonging
I have never experienced
in the company of contemperoraries
not of His spiritual lineage.

ReplyDeleteMan's delusion of ownership packs a powerful (and truthful) punch.
Oh thank you so much, Sue...I am really happy you enjoyed!😊
DeleteI sat in my garden a few days ago, and I saw so many insects going about their business...and thought, "I don't REALLY own this piece of land. Every living being on Earth owns it!" Somehow made me feel truly connected to something much larger than myself!😊😊
Much love and hugs ❤❤❤
Definetely Beautiful! We own nothing. Not even our own lives.
ReplyDeleteOh Ana, you are so kind...thank you so much!😊
