In me there is
Something so elusive
I beat myself up searching
To the point of being abusive
To find that certain line
The apex of expression
From the deepest parts of me
Giving clue to my confession
Emotions sometimes
Hide upon my sleeve
Unbeknownst to me
The mystery I’ve conceived
For what I’m looking for
I can’t really say
Maybe a WOW moment within
That I might amaze myself today
What could hide so deep in me
That even I can’t find it
To describe that tension
Release and unwind it
To hit that mark
Reach the mountains peak
To satisfy my Muse's quest
Digging deep

A fine write AP. A paradox? Digging deep to reach the highest mountain? You coming or going?! You half way up that hill, and neither up nor down? As were the Grand Old Duke Of York's men. Dunno why they were mucking about on a hill. lol.
Actually orchi, I'm just looking for my best effort in writing. To push myself beyond my own limits. Thanks for reading.
Ohhh *swoons in amazement* you've probably surpassed yourself here! And in many of your poems 🙂
You know, I thought that guy I passed looked familiar. Maybe I should go back and see if he needs a lift.
A great write, AP!
I have a feeling if you do dig deep enough, your Muse’s quest will be satisfied! Sometimes what we want is buried so deep within us that we think it’s unapproachable and we will never have that WOW moment! Continue searching upon your quest...you will have your WOW moment!
~Laura~
You hit the nail right on the head Laura, that's exactly where I was going with this one. I'm sure you've felt it too when writing. Trying to find the words to say something easily understood, but in a unique way of saying. it. Thanks for reading and your perceptive reply.
You’re welcome, AP!
Yes, I’ve definitely felt it!
ah, your writing skills surpass any expectation that are thrown at you. your right, digging deep sometime can be beautifully perceived, however, the darkest places left unexplored are just waiting there to try and catch you off guard. I'd say your poem here does exactly that. love this this work, AP.
And its those unexplored places where I always try to search for what I'm writing of. Thanks for reading and your compliment Kevin.
Thanks AP! i sometimes get analysis paralysis!
I get that too sometimes. And when I do, I save what I have and come back to it at a later time when my thoughts are a little clearer. Thanks for reading.
Thanks for your advice.
THANKS AP
The greatest Mystery known to MAN
IS MAN himself ~ we are unfathomless !
The recent death of Professor Stephen Hawkins
Has reminded us of what one "disabled" Man
Can achieve intellectually & Usain Bolt of what Man
Can achieve Physically and Musicians & Painters
Of what Man can achieve Artistically etc !
Always remember that we are infinitely Higher
Than the APES and only just a little
Lower than the ANGELS !
So self-searching & self-realisation always leads us
on to Ground much Higher than we imagined !

You dug deep here in this well-crafted verse A.P. - - a super write.
Thank you Fay. Think I need a bigger shovel though.
A fantastic write AP! This is such a relatable feeling for me. You wrote about pushing your limits and finding that WOW moment well. Great job!
Guess that's the driving force behind every poet. Thanks Christina.
