Ideas realized
Ponderously Planting trees, Whose prospective shade In full bloom will not shelter me, who aspires for whom, If all, even “I” are empty? The guide to land of milk and honey Promised they who followed, Tribes that once worshiped hollows, Over countless dunes of sand There they'd find the promised holy land, Consecrated by where would stand No man but son of man. For on the tribal pyre, Burns liberties fire. Ponderously Planting trees, Who and whom would free, If all by self are freed?
Phenomena outside of mind Arises not. Meditation occurs, None to be sought. Behaviors incur, No actor wrought. Sacred vows sound. Absent one bound. Fruit when it bears, Fills none there. On mind reflect, Mind what projects. A thing-in-itself By self alone Non-existing.
A thing can only be described by its constituent parts. A tree is it’s leaves, roots, trunk, and bark... I, of mind, body, heart... And parts themselves but part. Where does a thing end, Where does it start When collective but part of still some greater part?
God preached more reflection of who preaches, From who’s lips Illusions slip. In truth found In heart’s bounds Of those meek, And lord’s love seek.
From the dreams of some machine, The imagination of machination calculation, Oceanic mechanic of conscious matter.
Thinking biased by influences of another Is thus biased by biases of the other.
Harmony rings When tensioned string Neither loosely bound Nor overly wound Between extremes Life and death At last breath... Polynucleotides bound In-coiled around, Helix paired Macromolecular cipher ... When, mid Unit of time Planck defined? Where all is center What surrounds? When all within What enters?
Wrought by hand Shall not long stand When reckoned By eternal. Fore thrice had crowed The cockerel, And the reaping Of denarii sowed, Truth betrayed, Compassion waylaid. Millenia thence, Mans’ offense, Heart’s recompense. By eternal beckoned, To eternal reckoned. Domains of man Lie neath the sands Of cyclic time and Doctrines mimed Without the seed of divine creed. Millenia hence, Heart’s offense, Mans’ recompense. By eternal reckoned, To eternal beckoned.
Without thought, Wherefore mind? Only by kind Is it sought. And thus by mind It is purely wrought, Itself merely a thought.
Preciousness of human existence, And its sublime brevity. Cause and consequence in persistence, Universal suffering in severity. Two timbers, one joint, Four points anointed.
