"Being Me..."

Another price to admission...

"Being Me..."

I keep returning here...

I wander a bit

see a bit

read and listen ...a bit

and return here

pause

softly breathe

daydream

think

breathe again

then... am off to wander

all through the glass

the whole world -

all the voices and moments ...beckoning.

drawing,

pausing as I always do...

then return here

pause

softly breathe

daydream

remember how to think

and dream again

- breathe again

be ...again

then off to wander ...again

to return again

here...

and BE ...again.

The only surety a person has in life is live and be yourself, in my opinion. I like how you illustrate a tendency of living a retail life and getting out there a bit, instead of being, Being is much more life quality friendly. You did a good job with this. Nothing beats being!

Self musing at it's best. What a wonderful way to think.... Day dream and remember how to think.... Really sometimes need arises to think how to think... Nice reading it.

[Chris]

Thank you for pausing with me, hope to see you and your thoughts again.

[Chris]

Love the hat and the mind behind your eyes. Come again.

What an awesome depiction to show how people can be swayed this way & that way as they go thru life, or as they go thru the day, but in the end, the core person remains & will eventually emerge. It's like coming home to one's own truth, one's spirituality if that's what's there, or an evil heart if that's what's there. Very thought-provoking writing written with cleverness (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

i feel free to relate to this as i am aging....to remember to think...yes, have to do that sometimes...
and then start again, write again, know i am still human and alive again.
Part of this reminds me of Plath's "Lady Lazarus"---
"the peanut crunching Crowd jamming in to see them unwrap me hand to foot"---or something to that effect...

[Chris]

Good seeing you... the times are a'changin...

[Fran Marie]

Morning Fran... early days. Hope all is well.

Life is full of both wanderings and moments of self solitude and introspection. Personally, it's the way I prefer it. It keeps one balanced on a level footing. I am sure we can all understand the crux of your poem. Well written, Chris.

[Chris]

It was nice of you to pause...I appreciate your thoughts, thank you.

[augustus]

I know the feeling! Every time I sit down to write a story!

[Chris]

I'm glad you can "feel" me on this...pause with me anytime...

[augustus]

Gladly! I always think that to write a story you have to think ahead all the tine. To pause is a blessing!

[adornoscousin]

I love the suggestion of solitude in this poem.

We are always "within" our selves... and our "moments".
