Swirling Stones

Folder: 
PAPER PURSUIT

 

That ceaseless red tide of speculation,

residing in the minds of the Old Grims,

strains amid the machinery in the rays

and embrace of sky's sleek moon-haze,

when time turns without a word learned

but to enchant meaninglessness or blur.

a Seraph suits itself up with silken smirk

and drops on down like a feather hurt,

a delicate dance, sweet feeble flourish,

landing softly on a mound of gibberish.

The Seraph sings of other, distant things

such as unfathomable worlds in the ring

of the Swirling Stones just outside Pluto.

It is a galaxy soon destined to be shown.

I read this twice because there's so much hypnotic, metaphorical magic woven into each line that I wanted to unpack every bit of it. The imagery and symbolism is absolutely transporting. An amazing journey.

Thank You!!!

Think about it like this: Seeing that the feather is a simile for the Seraph, she is essentially plucked from her cosmic comfort zone to commune with lower lifeforms, the mindless Old Grims. She could be hurt spiritually just to be there, falling sorrowful.
