Friday Flash 55 — One with Everything


 


This is me.  No one — made of Stardust.
 I am one with swirling planets,
    conifer cones dusted with snow,
        delicate ice crusting upon my vacant footsteps —
one with the underweight babe, the bloated beast,
the aged woman praying over beads one final time.

I am the beads, the breath, the bursting, and beyond.
All one.

    One with everything. A fully loaded pizza was my first thought — wrong, as usual. But true; we are all made of "star stuff."

    Wonderfully worded, Lydia!

    blessing and Bear hugs!

    Totally off topic: I love the movie "Stardust". Have you ever seen it?

    Yes, looking up at the night sky (prefer a bit warmer than the image you portrayed) I do feel different, more at peace :)

    "One with everything." That's really a great place to be spiritually. The connection of sharing something with nature is very empowering. Awesome poem with great introspection! Chris

    Margaret ~ No, I have not seen "Stardust." I just looked at the page for it at imdb.com and it looks marvelous. Many thanks for the tip.

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
