Crystal cassette
A repeating tape of warm flux,
A cog in the breaking light.
Diamond mist and fire of agate,
I am flowing—I am still.
Skips on the pond-water,
I am an amethyst swan.
Under me, a black eternity,
Above me endless sky.
Stretching out my wings
I become a crystal parabola
Painted in mauve and violet.
Folding my wings, an avian flux
Disintegrating mercurial,
Handful of gravel tossed
Into the sun.
Broken by the wheels of fire,
Birthed into vehicles of void.
A shimmering absence cycling,
I am flying—I swim—I fall.

Just wow. you have taken up my favorite Crystals this time and nothing more can gladden my heart. Beautiful wordings.
Thank you @d-pend for this wonderful poetry.
Wow, @d-pend !!!
I love this.
Awesome!
Beautiful poetry. I have not read your poetry for some time. I report again that I am back.
"as always a poem that comes from the heart of your own inspiration"
Thanks @d-pend. You took the meditation to another dimension. The end is the beginning swimming through pond waters free and undisturbed flying and falling.
what a beautiful poem, a very touching poem from every stanza has the deepest meaning "The world is a lonely construction site I am a hard surveyor!" we want a comfortable world from the hardships of the trials, the world of theatrical stage full of lies.
your beautiful poetry, I really admire it, I want to write like you.
If you do not mind visit my bloq, give me some feedback on my writing.
I am very sad my posting is quit of visitors
Thanks my inspirator Thanks you so much @d-pend
In this case the trip is worth the fall ... just remember how to get back:) Great piece:)
I felt with you through this poem, it seems like mission incomplete or hope dashed. The choice of word is rather simple nor complex, I can say it is just the mixture of it. The images adopted too blend with the message of the poem. Nice write up from @d-pend. Your consistency is what i admire and powerful words embedded in your work.
I like the magical sense/athmosphere which is felt through this poem... Some parts of this poem remind me of Ikarus, who fly high and then fall because of the sun...
Anyway, really powerful poem...
Love it..
Thanks for sharing, @d-pend ...😍😀🤗😍
The usage of metaphors in the form of cassette is really beautiful, i do believe and even i can feel that you are talking about human's life, how it is progressing and going ...
Thank you so very much for the wonderful theme @d-pend :)

"Stretching out my wings

I am pilot and I can relate this part as flying above 8/8 cloud and chance to be above all with crystal air flight above white blanket and touching the sun light.
Majestic Poem...
Beautifully written @d-pend.
