The Dark Hole
L. B. Mek said:
(Brilliant! dear Poet
please forgive my self-indulgent scribbling below
and thank you! for inspiring them)
connectivity
inspired by introspection\'s guide
we swim, in cyclic waves
what\'s been , will be again..
what we knew, rediscovered
repackaged, as progress\' new
yet, midstream - we break
to look back at the shore
and W. B. Yeats\' poetry
calls out, knowingly:
\'The fury and the mire of human veins.
Before me floats an image, man or shade,
Shade more than man, more image than a shade;\'
\'Nor storm disturbs, flames begotten of flame,
Where blood-begotten spirits come
And all complexities of fury leave,
Dying into a dance,
An agony of trance,
An agony of flame that cannot singe a sleeve.\'
\'When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,\'
first two verses borrowed from
\'Byzantium\'
last verse from \'When you are old\'

Lyre, Me

Oh lira,lira ,lira
Il suono diventa la mia bussola
Rivenza o meditazione
Il cuore sa- più o meno.

I’m really lovin this piece line by line and then that tripled when I read “the sound becomes my compass” it’s makes perfect sense and somehow none at all in the way that you would honor cuz it shouldn’t but it does and makes it freaking perfect, metaphor doesn’t capture it , I need a better word for that device that freaking rocked the page.

What a nice piece.
“In the guise of becoming wise”
That statement pushes necessary knowledge for all to consider. Don’t lie and never pretend.

journeys, ultimately
are internal
we quest to find, our truths
be they by someone\'s side
or just alone
what matters is that we follow
our heart\'s whispers/guidance
so we don\'t waste too much time
journeying, just
for the sake of journeying
sincerity, clarity and intent
crucial elements
in every choice we make..
(really related to your insightful depths in this one
words to contemplate after reading)
thank you! dear Poet

Ohhhhh I love the flow here...you know...me and rhythm. But that\'s not important. I keep seeing the same theme so I\'m taking this one for me. I just mentioned one of my favorite quotes to someone else: \"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be\"...keeps hitting me like a brick!! \"We’re headed to my calling. The one that’s buried deep inside\" INDEED!!! Thank you!!!

Spirit Window

\'You see this window is for all
Who understand the time.\'
Being connected to our now

our steps..

Lost in Time
L. B. Mek said:
(loved the vulnerability
and questing poetry
a poignant read, dear Poet
i\'m sorry if my words below
come across as preachy
or something
that wasn\'t my intention)
dimensionality
within the prism of reality\'s
perspectives
is a thought process, that can soothe
but like all things
before we can achieve anything
we must first visualise it
\'As I seem to be lost in this haze.\'
embrace the haze, let the blurry
offer a window to foggy outlines
of our endless possibilities..
being tired, is also
part of the journey
a time, for us to centre ourselves
reflect and learn...
