douglas Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 The ThreadWe are born dead and from our very first breath our expiration is both sealed and manifest life and death are exactly the same thing All that is alive lives within its sacred corpse there is but one state of being One silver-black thread intertwined and coiled within each cell and molecule in your body The moment that the egg is transformed inevitability surges in and disappears as the billions of little breaths and illusions that have come before it And time is the ultimate phantom Pure Nothingness An infinitesimally small space of flickering within the Great Continuum that is both God and the Void Brief splinters of darkened consciousness that reel quivering within an expanse of unfathomable blackness and secret stellar explosions which we all will eventually come to fully comprehend Quote To receive love, you have to give it...

Benjamin Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Dark piece that brings to mind such phrases as "Nothing ultimately matters" It raises many philosophical questions, yet doesn't touch on why we have such a strong will to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Thanks for your feedback Ben - it's actually not intended to be that 'dark' and is more a study of non dualism and also touches on the eternal and ephemeral aspects of our beings. And I state, with hope and faith, in the last stanza that we will comprehend all once we leave this dimension and return to our origin - Brief splinters of darkened consciousness that reel quivering within an expanse of unfathomable blackness and secret stellar explosions which we all will eventually come to fully comprehend Quote To receive love, you have to give it...

fdelano Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Eloquently formed. Your art touches on my own thoughts for so many years: If death is certain, then we are already dead, with only a moment of time to wait. Enjoyed the mental exercise in many ways. Thank you.
