Stopped

by sibyllene   Aug 30, 2007


I will show you
the universe in a clover leaf,
infinity in a pinpoint,
eternity in a bat of an eye-

And you will choose
weeds,
dull pins,
and eyes shut tight.

Shying from
the ultimate,
crooning over
pretense-

We are
clots of shadow
and tedium
stopping up the flow of life.

    Well I was thinking she was talking about love and you thought she was talking about life Jane, but in essence the meaning is still the same (referring to ignorance and being overlooked as opposed to overlooking).

    Hahaha, Mo...My interpretation is a bit different. I think Sibyllene is referring to ignorance and the simplicity and beauty in life, that is overlooked in attempts to find deeper meaning...that is duller and inevitably inaccurate. Or maybe I'm nuts.

    You have a wonderful way with words, Sibyl.

    Shit - I reeeeally liked this one. So sad tho. I do hope you and your guy get things sorted out - then you can flow with life like its meant to be. :) I do agree tho - what is it when people dont see what they could have and choose to make all the wrong choices... you just want to strangle them!

    Good write my dear. xx
