We are temporal beings
our awareness
awaking slowly
from some infinite place
we flow forth
on a current
of pure energy
in the stream
of all consciousness
our coming to be
unknown to us
as any mystery
learned in stories
in waiting relationships
gradually
we open to our identity
our essence
an enigma
awareness dawning
like the rising
of a newborn sun
we feel its warmth
grow slowly
we see not over the horizon
because we see no horizon
yet
we comprehend no end
immersed only
in our beginning
it is therein exists
the miracle of life
and the quandary of life
our unfolding self awareness
questioning how
where
why
questioning infinity
we are finite beings
but in those moments
infinite beings
dreaming
to sustain the moments
we everflow
from the waters of time
as we flow into eternity
watchers
adrift
on the river of life
flow into me
my love
and we will be the waters
of timeless life
indivisibly immortal
lovers
in an eternal love

Great flow of existentialism. ‘Everflow’ is a wonderful title.
Thank you Marion… 🙂
This is beautiful and it begs the question “where do I begin and where do I end? Am I just a giant stream of consciousness? Perhaps, just a dream within a dream with no beginning or end?
I don’t know – I am rambling today…sorry…
Thank you True… 🙂 …pondering the big questions make us all ramble a bit… 😉
A beautiful write, Rob, like a meditation :-). Really enjoyed it and love this phrase: “indivisibly immortal.”
Two lovers, wrapped in passion’s embrace, feel immortal — a beautiful moment is timeless. Thank you Sunra! 🙂
