Feeling of wellbeing

If I felt illiterate, it is because of light, if I felt literate, it is because of darkness.

Light from lantern; fears the darkness

Hundreds of facts; I felt illiterate

Observing around;

Transforming, as time passes;

I felt, I am illiterate a thousand times

Transformation is the key

Never miracle happened

Dipped inside darkness

I felt I am happier;

Feeling of wholeness and well-being.

Love the line "I am illiterate a thousand times". I wonder about the significance of the small letter i in the line "I felt i am happier" and the capitalization of Wholeness and Well-being. The feeling of illiteracy, words stolen making you dumb is very compelling.

Arrundas TP,

A very enjoyable read that seems to mean the betterment that arrives of comes in simply resolving to find oneself's inner contentment of being at peace with thine own self as who and what thou art ... Maybe so, maybe not, but as such is my interpretive stab in the dark of attempting to discern the living, breathing, mind of another individual who is a member, just like me, of Human Humanity's kind ... Enjoyed the read ...

Thank you friend for reading 😊

[Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn de Graham]

You are quite welcome ... Thank you for blissedly blessing me with your Poetic presence ... And, I do consider you as a friend, one which I have yet to have the gift of meeting personally, as yet ... But, then, one never knows what tomorrow will show ... Or reveal, to a world of Mankind that recognizes the each of us, are, indeed, all of one and same individual's individuality's self same Humanity the fools off men who do think themselves representing Man as Mankind tend to (my self coined terminology) Intelligently Stupidly referto as The Human Race ... Therein is the crux of the matter; the fly in said ointment; the t**d in the punch bowl' the sty in the eye that cannot see for total lack of having seen Human Beings as each equitably equals of Humanity's Humanity that damn fools have cursed and tag-team labelled as The Human Race ... What race? ... Which race ... When and why and what for do we race? ... The most Goddamned to any religion's f*****g hell statement made by any alleged so called self asserted Human Being is that of reducing ALL of every individual Human Being that exists (existed, exists, or shall ever exist) to that plane of ignorance and utter disgrace of subliminally thinking to accept, thus stupidly attain, that WE, YOU & ME, HE & SHE, THEY & THEM, PEOPLES & NATIONS, COLORS & COMPLEXIONS, RELIGIONS & SUPERSTITIONS, are somehow, mystically of mysteriously engaged of involved (voluntarily upon accepting the magical phrase: The Human RACE) in an ever of forever's active competition with and against other members of the same Humanity as does represent you & I, as though it were/is but an innocent foot race to see who wins out, who rules, who dominates, who presides as King & Queen over all Mankind ...! ... There is no RACE but that of fools led by bigger fools who make us all pawns' tools at their unspoken but made plain behest ... And therein lies the riddle's answer to the proverb that doom smart men as nerds and stupid men as the Elite ... Hoarding money does not make one smar or intelligent ... It just makes one self centered and greedy without feeling's thought for the needy, for there would be no need of any ideology of Socialism or Cumminsim in this damn world, if men as men would look within and see the needs of others willingly before thinking to stash all that cash that they cannot nor shall ever spend ... Which brings to mind a silly saying that my Dad used to utter as the finest man I have ever known, and I have known quite a few damn good men: "I see!," said the blind man ...

All that the so called, "Human Race," is racing towards is self inflicted annihilation's extinction ...

There is no race, but that which has been planted within our minds, in our heads, as mental conditioning's programming of utter, BULLSHIT! ...

To where are we racing? ... What is the aim, the goal, the prize worthy of Man's total self Destruction? ... Of one nation warring against another nation? ... Of People slaughtering other people who only seek to live out their meager lives just as they do themselves?

WHAT A PERVERSE JOKE HAS BEEN PLAYED UPON ALL HUMANITY WITH ONE SIMPLE INSERTED AS PERVERTED WORD: RACE ...

To where, for what, for when, and who the f**k wins? ... Who wins? ... That initial source that coined the phrase's word RACE, that subliminally stirs every Human Mind into subliminally thinking that we are all in some sort of damned to Hell competition with each other of one another, when nothing could ever be further from real reality's truth ... You are not just my friend ... You are my Humanity connected brother ... Yet, all the world cannot see for that noxious depravity laden word called RACE ...

Please do pardon the babbling, but oftentimes I do some of finest thinking's writing in commenting other other Human Beings whom I do hold upon that same mortal living level as am I ...

Thanks for review

There certainly is some mystery in your writes. Dipped miracles in the dark chocolate of well being. Overwhelming ideas paralyzing our pens. Another interesting poem!

I love the premise of your message about light = illiterate . . . dark = literate. Sometimes it seems, in the darkness, we can't see all the distracting input that bombards us, distractions which make it impossible to form words. In the darkness we are more literate becuz we speak/write from an non-earthbound place. Two lines begin with "I felt" -- excess unneeded words, in my opinion. Just describe the feelings & don't waste my reading time with empty words stating the obvious (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

You're welcome

Most of us feel alive in the dark places.
"Dipped inside darkness
I felt I am happier;
Feeling of wholeness and well-being."
I believe we need to taste dirt to appreciate the light. Powerful and good words shared. I did like this poem.
