Where is the Om?

A portrayal of emotional distress and the detachment of the modern world, the loss of connection.

The world is out of touch

And my soul just aches to sing

a Song so long Forgotten, 

hiding in the Eagle's wing.

The freedom life did once present

is slipping further away;

the Connection, no longer reality.

Happiness has been delayed.

I long for someone to see

the suffering inside my soul.

To be the remedy I need

To remember that life is Full.

A person to look into my eyes

And see what I know as Truth;

To mend my broken ways,

and to make the sadness mute.

But how does one escape the mind?

An immensely dangerous place,

Where the only things that we can find

Are questions to be raised.

Aware of my Anxiety,

I now must learn control

Before the rush of darkened thoughts

Moves in and takes its toll.

Very nicely done. I could feel the apprehension and the indifference in this piece. The flow was nice and it felt good to read.

[Cmerideth]

Thank you very much, I appreciate it!

I found this gripping; the flow worked well so I could read it easily, and each sentence I found for me had an impact, which contributed to the impact of the whole poem. It was great.

[Cmerideth]

Thank you very much!

It seems an honest set of verses. The portrayal has a lingering scent of ginger - spicy but not overpowering. There is the immortal appeal for that which may provide succor and complete the writer, the voice has body without being too heavy too and that is a welcome change; many writer are too heavy-handed in this respect. I recommend a singing bowl to find the "Om." ;-)

[Cmerideth]

Oh yes, the Om is abundant in the right places :) just have to know where to look

[Subversive Reality]

Excellent piece, very familiar to me but more important, necessary to be read
by the youth...No "Mature" label needed ;-)
Going in my favorites today!

Thanks for the smile, thanks for the share

[Cmerideth]

Thank you! I guess I misunderstood the usage for that option, haha I appreciate your feedback :)

[Antoñyo]

Oh anytime...LOL it's like music nowadays. Kids hear it all but it still comes with warning labels, for show.
You're very welcome
