Out of Almost Nothing
Collage Poetry: Friday, August 30, 2024
Out of almost nothing
set in motion long ago
stupendous and bewilderingly complicated
the crucible of newness.
Duration is hard to achieve.
Each fragment that begins anew
in the intimate and in the vast
the sense of beauty
far older than any language.
We need not be afraid
as we discover it within ourselves
our playfulness around them
to know our depths and our limits
at the edges, those boundary regions between.
Between the depths
and the limits
on the edges of the possible.
Constantly unburdeningÂ
in creative ways
the expectations we bring to it,
a moment of not knowing who we are,
frontiers where we find ourselves
between the known and the unknown.
Being alive.
