Time Unfolds The Nothing

Since time unfolds the nothing of our joy
which we have built on memories of pain,
I walk away from shambles of my faith
and wander nowhere in the wordless world,
then sit alone on river shore of fate
with nothing but my hope to contemplate.

Befuddled by confusing stream of thoughts
that jumble memories of suffering
in scattered puzzle of painful abuse
that people hurl at me with bitter hate,
I watch clear water of the river flow
in trance that seems to cause the world to slow.

Intense arrest of sudden fractured fear
suspends me in unmoving quietness,
so I begin to float on breathless wings
of ardent sparrow outside frame of flesh,
soul swelling far beyond shell of my mind
through undulating horror hope designed.

Too clear before my eyes of bleeding rage
I see again that scene I would forget
when cruel men dragged my mother from our home,
then left her bleeding by the dusty road,
so moment light of life flashed from her eyes
now shrouds my soul as shadow of dark skies.

Three days and nights of endless bitter tears
wound my disbanded heart with anguish tight,
too wounded from despair as I cried out
for her to wake from nothingness of death,
then buried her with flowers by the tree
that tricks me to believe her soul is free.

When gang of boys from town surround my place
of refuge in bright forest of fruit trees,
I whirl oak staff I carved with serpent face
to bash their heads when they grab at my arms,
till they all crawl as dogs on dusty ground,
then vow I am their queen on goddess mound.

Brave warriors of my heart obey my words
when we attack high ziggurat of power
and fight the bankers in their halls of wealth
to free humble farmers from slavery,
then wear the crown of law on judgment throne
to rule the land with fair justice alone.

Since time unfolds the nothing of our sorrow
which we have built from memories of pleasure,
I return to garden of our respect
to shelter you with wisdom of my heart
so we thrive in temple of our world view
till death erases us from dream of love.

On my old laptop, which I switch on at least once a week to fall back on, early this year I noticed the monthly Windows updates that require a restart weren't happening, but somethings no doubt were getting tuned up going by the data consumed. However, checking for the updates used to confirm on being up-to-date. Looked weird compared to the new device that followed the monthly routine.

On checking, the old was on version 23H2 and the new, 24H2. Having been busy, hadn't really bothered on these, and when checked, the 23 version had already reached the end of life last November, and the newer 25H2 was already in place from the same time, which somehow, wasn't figuring on the newer. Since the old couldn't support the hardware specs, decided to do it on the less than a year old shiny new one with a bootable USB.

The process, some time in April, which I thought would get over in an hour proved me wrong when trying it at 10 in the night. First, though thankfully the installation could be run within Windows, after a huge download, stopped with an error on the lack of disk space. These branded laptops come with the OS pre-loaded, but with the entire disk as the System Drive. A hindrance if you need separate partition for your work and another for the backups that need playing around with third-party tools that do an excellent job. Luckily I had set aside 32GB for the Recovery drive which turned out unnecessary, with the needed files taking up a little over half a gig.

Restructuring the partition by extending the main drive to 20 more, seemed to solve, but with a repeated huge download again (don't know where the first went off!), that ultimately exceeded the last and stopped again demanding more space that needed another extension keeping the RE to just one Gigabyte. From then on it was smooth, though time consuming, ending at 1.30 early morning. Ugh! The additional extra space seemed to keep a copy of previous OS folder to go back to if needed within a week or so (which no one does any way) to automatically clear if sticking to the new.

So, recently on learning the latest 26 version being rolled out, was quite worried over the repeat stuff when encountered. Yesterday all of a sudden the update icon appeared with a blue dot on the system tray than the usual yellow, got to know of the latest going to be in place. Decided to keep it for today morning over the weekend than venture at the night like last time. And guess what? It was over in no time with a very small download and a quick restart that didn't even open the browser to tell what's new. I believe the required package was already in place during the monthly update, with this acting as an activator to unfold new features. So much for all the anxiety and preparedness!

This post like XMPP turned out Extensible despite making it as much crisp, purely from the point of conveying the whole process of not keeping one intimated on the space requirements and data transfers prior to proceeding.

Kapunda Cemetery, Kapunda, South Australia.

Kapunda is home to two primary historical cemeteries: the Kapunda Cemetery (the main town cemetery) and the St John’s Catholic Cemetery, which is located a few kilometres outside of town and carries a more somber, legendary history.

Kapunda Cemetery serves as a record of the pioneers who built the copper mining town.
