Waiting To Be Born by Dale Innis on Midjourney
Dreaming Humanity
In our world of fast morphing hours,
shapelessness is only a transition into being,
the first molding of a glorious possibility.
Look deep into Design and see,
everything slowly becoming something else,
in this never-quite-focused Human dream.
The created, cast in the Mastermind’s own reflection,
peer back through the mist of thick impenetrable transcendence
wondering if something or someone is out there
and why they are now standing here?
Soon they will multiply, re-multiply,
always wondering why?
Their smooth new textures drying,
as they peer through their opaque history.
While looking forward,
they feel more comfortable holding back.
They wait for something to be revealed,
a secret unsealed by the One who shaped them
and soon to be setting them into motion.
They stand in the portal, waiting to be born,
to descend full of Human error and compassion,
one of the greatest works of Art the Artist dreams
over and over again:
a vulnerable child,
an imperfect woman,
a frail and fallible man.

Yes yes!! You are right:) The image that I dragged up from the past in yesterday’s poem, was the inspiration to write this one…a very different take on 3 fairly undefined figures . I am so pleased you enjoyed the verse it inspired, Colin:) Thank you so much for your support of what I do:)

Too much information and too deep for me. I’m a simple man.
TIGER GOT TO HUNT,
BIRD GOT TO FLY,
MAN GOT TO SIT AND WONDER WHY ? WHY? WHY?
TIGER GOT TO EAT,
BIRD GOT TO LAND,
MAN GOT TO TELL HIMSELF THAT HE UNDERSTANDS.
I plagerized this.
Kurt Vonnegut-author. Book title- ” Cat’s Cradle ”
He was a existentialist author and a very intelligent human being. If he were still alive, he would tell me that none of us are very intelligent. Those among us that think we are intelligent are only delusional and suffering from vanity.
Vanity of Vanity….. all is Vanity ! Pslams, ‘That’ is Biblical.
Your unknown friend,
Wishing you Peace, Joy and tranquility in the New Year Karima.

How many roads must a man walk down ? Before he can have a real conversation with Karima ? Johhny’s in the basement mixing up the medicine, I’m on the pavement thinking about the government, Man in a trench coat etc. etc. When I played guitar I played alot of Bob Dylan. Never met him but always loved him.
Never met you either girl and probably never will. However, that does not prohibit me from loving you from afar. Wishing all your dreams and wishes come true in the new year Karima ! Wishing you peace and contentment.
