I survived myself today
Holding on to frustration
Holding back transformation
There I felt a justification
Allowing for no exceptions
My way or the highway
Quickly became a lonely place
The thoughts given no escape
Going around again and again
The illusion of my words
Covered all paths I'd heard
If happiness is a road
This was gridlock overload
I had only one option left
Move away from myself
Clearer on the high route
None of it was real
Trust in what you feel
Everytime a newer high
Giving release to
This Inner
Dragonfly

May your new flight give you the freedom that is inspired by your words.
Appreciated as always my friend for keeping my spirit strong
A fine write Dan. You gone? You flown away, as a dragonfly? Where ya gone?!
Though suffering is not the main theme here, I can't really go along with all of the quote.
We can't really escape suffering, though I try to 'pray it away' sometimes. The 'detachment' may cause us to go into escapism, or be insensitive to other's sufferings.
Not that I followed Buddha anyway!
Thank you, it's just a quote I picked. The way I perceived the words was unique to me as it is to you, I follow no one but try to absorb it all.
Thank you for your inspiration I must go write it before it gets lost
Thank you D. Your words are definitely helping shape my next writing.
I dunno much further. No use me trying to go deeper, and digging a hole if I'm only gonna fall into it meself. In other words, not knowing what I'm talking about! If I don't know what I'm talking about, how will anyone else know?! lol. Confucius, he say..... ( where we get the word 'confused' from?).
Please I love it, everyone has something to add. I wish it happened more, this place feels so safe to explore all we think openly.
Thank you for sharing that. The theme really resinates with the book I will never finish writing.
The video what beauty and strength. That which seems to evade me!
Thank you very much, I hope this can turn that never into sometime soon.
This song feels different every time
PD - I am learning to "live lightly" on this earth and am so much happier for it..... I love your Dragonfly........
I hear you on that my good lady. Thanks for always showing your wings too
Dan you have grew into such a fine poet. You are an inspiration! Your writes are wonderful!
Thank you so much for your kind words I hope to live up to my own.
Really appreciate it
You very welcome!
Great self expression. Letting go of frustrations by losing yourself into something else is a really worthwhile practice. Similar to the oft used phrase 'sleep on it, see how you feel in the morning''. Its amazing how having mentally 'let go' of something for a while gives it a whole new perspective when once again you pick up its reins isn't it.
A good book can be a distraction but when my mind is in turmoil over something i get in my car and go for a drive. Something about being out amongst the trees and fields by the roadside remind me of my own insignificant speck status.
Yet significant we all are, yes we all have our own medicine to help us gain that freedom from ourselves.
Always appreciate your words my friend
A self awareness poem and well written, too. I engaged through your thoughts which has left me thinking about my illusions of words and life. Thank you for sharing your inner thoughts. It's always good to let them out.
Absolutely my friend what comes up should come out, glad I could return the favour and make one ponder.
Much appreciated
