In recognition of Poetry Month, and to celebrate our treasure trove of Orcas Island poets, Orcas Issues is pleased and honored to offer daily poetry during April.
TIME AND LIFE
— by George Karnikis —
Yesterday is turned off now one lives for the discovery of tomorrow.
Time is an abstract element, created for convenience or hindrance.
The butterfly lives its ephemeral life and knows not what is beyond.
Life is continually interpreted in Earth, Sea, and Sky, relays knowledge.
In a blade of grass god tries to find itself to justify its existence.
Knowledge passes from inorganic to organic in a continuum that encompasses space, time, and matter.
The mighty human life is only another small link in a long chain of learning experience.
Perhaps life is a floating thought which engages and disengages with all matter and living things in its quest to learn its true identity.
