It's Clear Ahead

a conversation

ME: 'It's clear ahead, follow me'
HE: 'How can you tell, what can you see?'

ME: 'It is not in what the eyes can see,
It starts by making friends with clarity'

HE: 'Clarity you say, I am confused
It's clear you said, that was your news.'

ME: 'Calm your thoughts, clear your mind,
Let's start here, leave all behind.'

HE: 'Calm and clear my mind you say
How will that help us on our way?'

'Leave all that is, what's the use?
What we leave we may need anew.'

ME: 'What lay ahead, we need for naught,
What lay ahead we have always sought.'

'The endless search, is already here,
It's just ahead, where it is clear.'

HE: 'You speech is nonsense, you've lost your mind?
There's nothing there, what do you hope to find?'

ME: 'No need to hope to find a thing,
Nothing is needed and I've nothing to bring.'

HE: 'You riddled words make no sense to me,
I cannot follow, for it's nothing I see.'

ME: 'Correct it is nothing and oh what a sight,
To finally see the beauty, to let go of the fight.'

HE: 'I believe your thoughts have turned you mad,
Clarity something you never had.'

'I will not follow, this journey is yours,
I bid you farewell and the best for your cause.'

ME: 'Right my friend, my time's arrived,
For this is the point for where I've always strived.'

'In the asking of questions, of myself and surrounds,
The continual struggle to find new unknown grounds.'

'To understand me, the where, how and why,
To know what will happen when one is to die.'

'It is clear ahead, but follow me not,
This life's knowledge gained I have simply begot'

'Within the essence of knowing and dreaming to dare
It's clear ahead, you can find me there.'

'It's Clear Ahead'
KWP,
I see this is a conversation between two people.Your poem tells a story of how no two think alike. How we approach any problem or how we live in this life. At one point the two go their separate ways.Even with friends and close associates we will often disagree and not be on the same page. I found this poem refreshing because it was a theme of 'Just don't worry if people may not agree or be the same."
I am so glad we people are all different!
Blessings
Kathy

I love the conviction in this to steer the self and the self's intuition, we have to seek the way ourselves and along that way, we will inevitably lose people in our circles that distance themselves from not understanding the shift within us...sorry for the ramble, this is a great piece and resonates xo

[KWP]

Was that a ramble ? nah ! Thank you so much for reading chick and always delighted to read your thoughts X

this was really good..the journey into the unknown is certainly one we should begin..you made the conservation so wonderfully poetic..i really loved it :)

A journey to find the truth, we all must work it through our own questions and pondering, and not to just take anyone words for truth. Once we make peace with the place we want to remain, we come alive and realize the end is but the beginning of a new story.
I liked it my friend. see you there? :):)

Awe-inspiring conversation. Brilliant and inspiring how you laid out the journey, the words and the characters. 'HE' can be the cynical voice in the head most of the time or that of the person who pokes and puts us down from time to time or a voice of reason, sometimes. The poem stumps me with the sheer power behind the simple words, structure and the lyrical noose it ties.
The power of unknown.. those who dare venture smiling whether they be victorious or devoured. Those who deter it, exist in the dangerous safe sanctity.

I think its great, one of your best and just about to open the door to my library and nestle on my Elizabeth Shelf, you see the way ahead, passed the illusions lurking on the corner under shady street lamps, along the dark alley way of life and all its trials, finally to push them all aside as you see the great clear, shinning and surrounding you in its purity and oneness, shake the final dust from your shoes and leap!! To fly into the being of everything and become one with all, heaven beyond life and death, journey's end :) xxxxxx
