The Things About Sneezes

I’d say bless you
BUT
you don’t even follow your heart
nor listen to it

Circle of Life

April 3, 2022 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

an invocation
and incarnation
is just a powerful implosion
and its result
a manifestation perceivable
to one’s senses
evocatively expressing
when provoked by
nature’s duality
fighting for relativity
in order to balance
existence- survival
instincts and living
this is creation
now mirroring
what first went on within
before the implosion
now externalized
until its own explosion
and this cycle is
life, death, resurrection
I saw it in you when we first met
it was like a
foggy memory
a recollection from
a time
neither could place
but it was no different
from what happened then
and what had happened,
before
