was that me

dusk arising

was that me?
did i tread on too many
cracks in the pavement
or some thing whilst
searching out the truth
that's inside me.
where is it?
what is it?
things which light my eyes.
do i have meaning
seeing myself as i am?
is this as its meant to be?
is there an understanding to be had?
questions about afterlife, previous lives
my own worst enemy
do i open my heart too quickly?

  • Comment from author about the poem: Every so often I begin to write and fail, but rather than throw away that piece i put it in a folder headed incomplete, perhaps I will be able to pick up the thread another day and polish. Browsing through that folder I found this piece. I felt it says so much about me that I post it here exactly as i left it in my incomplete folder.

    That heart is the truth within you and will show you the wonder of your life to come.

        Your questions and wonderings are very relatable Dusk - we all have days when our pens bring out the deeper side of our poetic hearts and reading these lines did the same for me - so glad you posted it.

          I'm unsure how old this piece is but its as real for me today as it ever was. Some questions are worth revisiting every now and again. Thanks for your kind comment Fay.
