Something Is Beginning, I Think
The world is smoldering
with the fires of another useless war,
designed as distraction, designed as policy.
*
But something is beginning, I think.
*
All the energy cycles are pointing
to great endings, illusions lifting,
the final shudders of a decaying empire.
*
But something is beginning, I think.
*
Nero seeks to hide the cracking foundation
with garish gilded gold, erecting
monuments to himself at every opportunity,
*
but something is beginning, I think.
*
Spring is here now, the equinox paired
with brilliant Mercury emerging
from its hibernation, which tells us
*
something is beginning, I think.
*
Soon Neptune will station in the heart of Sol,
dissolving the stories we’ve been told,
offering the opportunity for new foundations
*
because something is beginning, I think.
*
We are witnessing the final paroxysms,
the death of the old ways, the splintering
of falsehood and bravado and ego,
*
because something is beginning, I think.
*
The only way to survive it all, to endure the pain,
is to recognize our shared humanity,
realize we are all eternal souls living a human experience.
*
This is the only way something new begins, I think.
