Weightless with possibilities, heavy with promise,
stationary but in motion.

An uncountable number of choices exploded bright
and pure, dark and less so, leaving me trembling,
as I heard the voice of God.

A thousand histories, ten thousand stories waiting
to be lived, to be told, all there, at my finger tips,
all for the taking, if I dared.

But I am not a warrior, a prophet, to boldly ride into
the unknown with the armor of faith and hope,
So, I blinked, and was left with empty hands. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 364 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Loende [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 47 [ratings] => 11 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Prophets

For just one moment, I held the universe in my hands,
Weightless with possibilities, heavy with promise,
stationary but in motion.

An uncountable number of choices exploded bright
and pure, dark and less so, leaving me trembling,
as I heard the voice of God.

A thousand histories, ten thousand stories waiting
to be lived, to be told, all there, at my finger tips,
all for the taking, if I dared.

But I am not a warrior, a prophet, to boldly ride into
the unknown with the armor of faith and hope,
So, I blinked, and was left with empty hands.

But then we must trudge on.

This poem gave me that tightness in the chest ya' get when you don't wanna cry or you feel pain yet need to hide it, or feeling the pain of another. I think I relate to that "blink". Yep, you summed that choice of the several forks in the proverbial road quite nicely my dear.

Truly an insightful piece.
I enjoyed it and was left with an abundance of food for thought.

Peace

Could be a great rendition of the Overmind experience with infinite possibilities each with its line of development and culmination. Nice write.
