I guess I could cop out and say, “I just write them and do not necessarily understand them”, but that would really be lying. What concerns me at times is the fact that even though I write them, I actually do understand them, in a way, when I wrote the poems.

 

Alpha and Omega  2015-143

He said, “I am the Alpha and the Omega”

The beginning and the end

That which was and has become

 

The living was the existence

And the very soul of being

Change became the norm

With evolution, a maturity of life

 

A start with innocence

Experience was the outcome

And a conclusion of thought

Became a completeness of knowledge

 

That which was, is not anymore

Instead, an overall process of living

An involvement of simple simplicity

Of realization that what is — becomes was
