Re-creation at the End of the World

The end of the world as we have told ourselves it is:

Widening eyes align with changed underpinnings,

first causes, metaphors, stories of us.

Disruption, distorted transition, fear and distrust

wildly galloping trample the field, cry out the call

“Just let me rest. Just let us lie here, ashamed, afraid

to allow such blinding disarray. So much safer

to fall, over the end of the world.”

Could we, softly, sanely, edit together heavenward pleas,

harmonize with birds, bees, thunder, settling sighs?

Meme-shattering symphony dilated eyes happy to see

bouncy patterns coalesce, myths reassessed,

zest of surprise?

Would we recreate deity as an image more easily

caressing, Empathy for the 21st century?

Quite the spark to be finding oneself in - or is this the 'we' as in ourselves..Somethings to think about - if you were the only one left after the end..then you become whatever it is you become..certainly should not feel ashamed - such disarray is only down to oneself and ones capabilities..as in survival stakes. Thought provoking :-)

Fabulous. I love the line, "So much safer to fall, over the end of the world." The poem has a surreal quality that really works.

...harmonize with birds, bees, thunder, settling sighs

Even though we do not know what tomorrow brings, we should all rest easy in harmony.

I love the last two lines, Libra. This is a careful and well-edited plunge into surrealism and optimism. Now featured at with Examining Our Religion.
