.....continuing (Life goes on).

.....continuing (Life goes on).

A Poem by Huw

A man might be subject to

a game changer

An experience that changes 

his outlook.

His view point of life and all

he see's changes.

But it is still a game

his old habits remain

they shall like weed's spring up.

 

On a rare occasion

 a man will, without

seeking to do so,

experience a game ender. 

At which point in time

the game ends suddenly

in which reality, trust and truth

shall step up in agreement. 

Only in this experience

shall the petty games

of futile existence cease.

 

For some moments he will know

that everything is different.

He won't know how or why.

He will receive a pertinent, 

personal revelation of the how

and will receive the ability

to accept the why.....game ender.

 

People will notice the change

they will be in awe of him

because nothing in the arena 

of their previous experiences

can explain what had happened

to turn him so completely.

 

Nobody will be more surprised

than the man himself.

He will shed his habits

like Autumn leaves.

Those things he loved

he now hates

and that which he hated

he now loves.

He will develop an ardent

desire for truth. 

He will seek others 

who have experienced the same

he will not find one 

in ten thousand

even one in a hundred thousand.

He becomes aware 

he is an alien and a stranger

on earth. 

Even those he supposed would,

with open arms, welcome him

hate him with malice 

and vicious intent.

He will discover a fountain

of joy and another of tears.

He will enjoy the peace

that surpasses all understanding

and yet be at war within himself.

The battle rages, yet there is peace,

he is a walking contradiction.

He will deny, at times, his own self

sometimes wonder if he is mad.

Is there nobody that understands?

is the nobody on this same path?

He knows what he wants

understands what he needs

and goes to the place it should be.

Time and again he walks home weeping

with the condemnation 

of the envious game changers 

ringing in his ears.....continuing (Life goes on).

I've been commenting on someone's drawings for a couple of months and she asked if I was a published poet. It made me laugh because I'd left school at 13 years old and never completed formal education.. more..
