The Vessel

Life, Our Minds, Will, Strenght, Protection

 

The Vessel

 

A vessel vast as the ocean,

More powerful than tidal waves,

This intricate labyrinth grows

Defending the delicate touches,

The keeper of our souls.

 

Every moment we devour,

Sustainer of precious cures,

Imprinted for eternity,

It will endlessly endure.

 

Sometimes it seems so far away,

Buried deep like a fossil,

In constant variations,  

Like moving water in a blue green bay,

This deep cavern, akin to the tides,

Reaching for land, and it will arrive,

 

And these visions come quickly,

Like a mighty brewing storm,

And takes her back to the time,

Before she was even born.

 

She has wandered through the forests,

Below the canopy,

Reconciliation and peace reside,

But could it be a dream,

Maybe just a deep slumber,

Or a place where spirits meet.

 

But like the canopy,

They sway, degrade and decay.

Sometimes for our protection,

Sometimes just a game,

Oh, how our memories love to play.

Marvelous, spectacular, wonderfully written piece. Great vision about the ocean. This poem left a mark in me as I have to learn more about writing. With age comes experience and experience gives us a pleasure to do things the better way. And you thought me that with your writings time after time

I see here the vessel is the body, growing and travelling through life to be confronted by the desire for realization of the true self, when it seems all is a dream yet is the place of the spirit, it is a game but a game we all play and will win in the very long distance of life after life, thank you Dale :)

That's an interesting interpretation. I've told you, your reviews are better than anything I'll ever write. Thanks Richard.

[R Smith]

I like to make worthwhile reviews Dale but they will never be anything like better than a poem of yours, i must admit i like to read something into writing that maybe the writer never meant and i i love it when people do the same to my poems, its amazing sometimes to read a review and go 'oh wow! i wrote it and i never saw that, that's fun for me :)

[Confuser]

You're absolutely right; about enjoying the interpretations of a writing. Thanks Richard. Dale

Pushkar, I'm so glad you liked it - I'm not sure if I should have written...oh how the "memories" love to play; wanted to let the reader interpret the meaning for themselves??? But ....You're a wonderful writer; I'm new, but I'm trying.

[Pushkar Prabhat]

don't say that everytime that you are new........as far a i know you are more pro than any other professional........yes the memory almost closes the bid .......i had my money on consciousness!!!

T/Y....................................................my new poem ending (not this one)...I must have tripped and fell, back in your bed? Hummm, I'm thinking about writing about love. OMG.

[Pushkar Prabhat]

You will do a fantastic job with a love poem!!!! All the best :) :)

[Confuser]

UUUH, I'll try, Believe, the poetic prose is a love story of sorts.....Anyway....one day. Thanks for your encouragement. Let me go forth and read! A young writer in need, oh let me feed that young vanity....Ha

[willweb]

This is a wonderul start to what I hope are more parts to come. She is seeking that which seems so out of reach and perhaps not even real. My interests have been peaked. I really enjoyed this Part 1 today
