Demiurge

By G man767

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

My journey is only beginning The way it has always begun For I am always beginning, like a work-in-progress. To begin with, in fact, there was no beginning, for I was too busy beginning... to [ever actually] begin. As it were, I never actually began because I never finally ended beginning. After Aieons, I'm still in preschool. I've yet to receive my diploma since I'm still starting and (re)starting my thesis. Am I like 'Nowhere Man'? In the beginning I was all alone. And I became lonely. So, I lost myself, forgot myself, searching for another part of myself wishing to become the object of my desire   which is always like Me, separate and together. I found myself by losing myself in finding myself... As I began to finish beginning I tried to finish beginning to finish... Only to find that I had to begin Finishing beginning to finish. Each time I try to stop starting I find that I must first start stopping. So that...the end of the beginning Is the beginning of the end. Now, as always, there is no Beginning or end to the number of Beginnings and ends there are. Alas, no time to remember... no time to forget. --Uncle Greg Written October 9th, 2001 © on Oct 09 2001 03:33 PM PST    0 • 12
