Placid Quietude #114

"For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace." -Ecclesiastes (3:1-8)


It was here where this makeshift
device laid- not thinking nor
determining which destined
path to take upon those shores

And remnants of self trickled
down in droplets of liquidized
condensation upon -- no, beneath

every breath taken, then simply

exhaled

 

Scripted leaves with their

words of sanctity, lined in

rows not too far in the

distance; scripted truths

waved back and forth in-between

turmoil and serendipity, yet creation

wasn't seen in that moment of

pure clarity

 

By perchance, was these questions

meant to be spoken into whispered

air?

 

So for the time being, this body

shall sit in the middle contemplating

the next move to take

In a list

    This is the most interesting piece I have read today! Your top portion shows balance and symmetry and the second half shows quiet contemplation! Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest!

    Well you did ask me if you could be Unique,
    There is a lot of depth within this write, I felt that top part represented a balance with keeping peace within the mind and soul, And the world that we live within,
    your ending, I felt reflects the deeper turmoil held within life and coming to that cross road,
    taking a seat as you said, and pondering the next step
    Finding the contentment of finding peace.
    Phew you made me think!!
    Thanks for sharing,
    Warm thoughts
