100 DAYS OF POETRY: DAY ONE
Virgo North Node
By Stephen Martin
So it seems I've been here before
Many times? Well, at least enough times that I've accrued quite a Piscean deb(p)t(h)
It's not really the quantity that matters anyway
Aeons living the fish energy in the Universe
That would do the trick
I could have been floating around in Dreams
I could have been a Witness
Or maybe I was a Redwood Tree
So much Time standing still
So many Todays turned into tomorrows
Without the Balance of (wo)M(b)anifestation
Regardless, it's time to pay the Piper
To the tune of Virgo.

Great piece man! Saw you on discord offering help, then found my way here :) Good to read this!
What's the significance of tuning to Virgo now? I'm interested by astrology but don't know much, and wondered what was meant by this.
I love the word play with the bracketed letters to create more words and meaning... very clever! It worked very effectively for the piece I feel.
Looking forward to reading future submissions... Keep up the great work!!

Thank you so much for your comment. I also stopped by your poem and read it. I will be returning to it a little later this evening to write a comment. I liked it a lot and actually found some similarities in the theme between yours and mine. As for why I am turning toward the path of a Virgo, it is because my North Node is in Virgo. The North Node is supposed to signify the souls accrued karma from the past and to where their true life path should go in this current lifetime. It's opposite point called the South Node is where the individual has spent so many lifetimes in strengthening or living the existence of the sign opposite to the one that is in the North Node. Therefore, I have become way too Piscean, and in this life I have to learn to become more like a Virgo.
I see! How interesting. Thanks for taking the time to explain that to me... It's really a topic that fascinates me but am yet to really delve in to properly.
I really appreciate your comment and glad you enjoyed reading my poem. I agree in the similarities in themes.
Really great to meet you here and I look forward to seeing what the future holds as we embark on this epic 100 day voyage together!
Keep up the great work, see you tomorrow!

Very interesting! Really loved this piece, so many subtle interplays and the bracketed multiple entendres were a focal point for me. Can't wait to see more and glean from your poetic spark and understanding of astrology :-)
As far as I can see you followed directions perfectly! Thanks a lot!
Nice work, Steveo. Clever and well-written:)
Thanks for stopping by and telling me so. I appreciate it. 😎
I see a lot of balance in this piece, @acousticsteveo, maybe a centering of the narrator's universe and perspective?
time passes even as we stop to wonder about what could have been in the passage of time,
yes, maybe in today walks yourself taking steps from the depths and righting feet on the paths that will lead you forward.
I know little about astrology, but can see enough in your words to wish you luck in your search for balance, my friend.
Thank you for the share.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my poetry. Living in the moment is where it's at. 😎
Can i say its an elegant poem? Im curious to know your own meaning to this poem @acousticsteveo
Sure. In astrology the North Node placement signifies where you're supposed to be expressing your life's mission in this life. Mine is Virgo, so that means I'm supposed to be trying to be more like a Virgo, because in the past the opposite sign which is Pisces has been expressed to an unbalanced degree, so all the Pisces energy needs to be given up as a way of life and balanced out with a pursuit of a more Virgo type way of life.
Interesting and clever.. 👏👏☺
Beautiful composition. The eternal return is a powerful archetypal image; and quite a cosmic issue here. (I wonder when will Virgo pay her debt.)
Thanks for your feedback. I enjoyed your comment. 😎
Beautiful poem Thank you.
