Cause and effect converge when on life’s heartsichord
Odd memories of each afford instant recall.
Mind-music, set to speech, translates Time’s waterfall.
Intense emotions surge, to flood out dark discord.
Numb from disuse, the urge, an avalanche when thawed,
Gains momentum, reach is soon won. At nature’s call
Useless shields are beached, shells shed, and thought-screens fall,
Permitting hearts to merge, to tra[n]ce space, dreams record.
From chaos can immerge an order which, ignored,
Or set aside will bleach zen bones. The judgement Saul
Rendered thus still can teach, a moral spell, enthrall,
And hesitations purge, to strike a deep-felt cord.
Is it coincidence that inks the future’s page?
Right, wrong, where does sense lie? Who’s village fool, who sage?
Cause and Effect I
As intuition’s sonar scans
the effects of causes,
the causes’ effects
ripple outward, upset plans.
Time’s fipple, subtle, [trans]mutes man’s
fickle judgement while
emotion fans
subjective viewpoints.
points to a subject
past all object, mental also-rans!
Cause and Effect III
On effect and cause,
on voiced choice or chosen voice,
few ponder, all pause.
On cause and effect,
on scene set or foreseen,
must Mankind project.
Cause and Effect IV
See flaws and select
from flow fresh gambit gamble,
seek cause and effect.
