MATTER, MOTION, THE NATURE OF TRUTH
In these early hours
when the sun wears grey mist,
the horizon opens sluggishly
not wanting to give up the night.
Appearing in its April shroud
Mt. Veracity guards the inner bay
and more distant vistas of the Obsidian Sea.
In this world of darkness and light,
in shades of blue and green,
golden land and purple sea
it is magic that gives substance
to all we believe.
It is the magic of
riding sperm whales diving the Vermish Reach
while discovering urchins along the Innishney Trench.
It is the magic concealed in motion
as matter divides and expands infinitely
within the logic of truth.
In these early hours
when the sun wears its misty grey,
think of the world we can enchant
as we stand atop Mt. Veracity
with the nature of truth in our hands.
The logic of magic as it seeks
warmth in a flannel shirt
while holding hands on this April day
confronting an aspen wind and
drawn to scaling these sheer icy cliffs,
allowing us to face reality,
see the world as it really is;
allowing us to change the world
into a place we would want to live.
It is the magic of truth,
its motion of matter
that gives substance to all we believe
and can be.

“See the world as it really is, allowing us to change the world into a place we would want to live.” Eyes wide open. lovely
It’s ironic when you think about it Fia. Many want change, want to live in a different world, where people coming together to solve problems is the morality, but are unwilling to see the world and it’s me, me, me morality at its source, and so blame people, rather than a system that has created the way people are and act. It’s a daunting task, but it is possible to do.
Thank you Fia for your comment and for visiting. Both are muchly appreciated.
Reading this, I feel both the vastness of the universe and the warmth of small human connections– the magic of matter and motion felt in shared moments and the world around us
Those moments are precious, aren’t they! We are social creatures and need and welcome those connections. I want to and work toward a world where these connections thrive and flourish. Think how beautiful this world would/could be and how cherished such connections would feel and delight!!
Thank you RomaJ, the matter in motion that is me, welcomes your visit and your comment.
This is quite brilliant .. makes me feel very small indeed .. and which of course is absolutely true .. Write on brother .. Neville 😎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Another ironic thought, when looked at from the vastness of the universe, we are small indeed. But when looked at from our home, Earth, what we do makes all the difference. It is up to us to decide whether what we do will make the world as a whole better or worse. Us small humans can disturb the Universe.
I appreciate your comment Neville and want to thank you for it and of course for stopping by.
You really are much more than merely most welcome .. Neville 👍
Everything is energy, everything is in motion, everything changes… nothing stays the same. as this might sounds scary, as this (exactly as you’ve written) holds the magic. to reach the point where what we all do is living the moment, is the ultimate power. I see You to be both, dreamy, imaginative and smart. I’m still caught in this phrase (April shroud), a phrase I wish to have written. Thank You 🤍
Light, I think we are magic. Our lives matter in ways we often underestimate. And that April shroud dissipates as we reach for the morning sun. Thank you for the wonderful comment and the “dreamy and imaginative”, but not so sure about the “smart”.
And thank you for your visit, it is muchly appreciated.
