Men and The Goddess

Another year ends, a new one begins. I am going to publish one of my envisioned collections of poetry “one of these days, or years” – maybe this one, 2025! I chose a title years ago, even have collected some samples in a folder. Today’s poem may be one to add to that collection.

Happy 2025!

Rhythms & Cycles

Endings; endless endings!
How can this be?
There can be no endings without
Beginnings.

Beginnings; beginningless beginnings!
This cannot be!
Nothing begins at all with no
Endings.

Do you catch the rhythm here?
There is a beat, a pulse
That must repeat over and over
Again.

Cycles spin, spokes converge,
Emptiness causes the wheel to turn.
Lao Tzu taught the Truth of this
In the beginning.

From the smallest wheel
To the entire Cosmos we turn.
Each breath we take is mirrored
In the All.

There is a rhythm to Consciousness.
How can this be?
There is a cycle to the Cosmos:
Endless beginnings!
