that grasping of things
which have come and gone,
long loss of a newborn,
or pre-science thought,
such as
thinking of women unequal to men,
...all backward.

we won't stop evolution.
it goes straight ahead,
with fits and starts,
but indeed always through those,
     forward in time.

is there action, attraction,
with which we impel this?
yes; let go the past.
attend to the nexus...

sometimes we stop. we're feeling a feeling.
we're floating. a coolness enfolds us.

peace...

evoked by a sunset, scent of the lilacs,
a friendly embrace, claire de lune.
a sense of not I, but WE universal -
a place for our bodies
     as well as our souls?

absolutely!

what we need can be memed,
beamed into all hearts,
on the crest of ideas,
inspiration with power
     for dreams to 'survive' -

that [evolving] WE might.

i'd endeavor to hasten that course...

6/25 - slight title change,
and major revisions
for improved flow - i hope.

This is without a doubt my favorite work in your gallery.

There are certain beliefs that we (some of us) hold that will retrospectively be obvious errors; the particular one you bring up in the first stanza is a good example. I think that settling comfortably into any idea, though, holds its risks. That evolution of thought has to continue because time continues. Your words here give a real sense of that, and the last few lines serve to do so with hope rather than pessimism.
