The Door with No Nails

just another life poem ....

Casting out across the fields

Sweeping through the skies so blue

Seeing all of infinity

Noticing sweet you.

 Seeing you always hiding

 Escaping from the now,

Chasing all the storm clouds,

Pouncing all around.

Grasping at mortality

Skimming on the surface

Patience knows no boundaries

One day you will recognize the purpose.

Burning the Nail in abandon

No desire for a place

Gathering up evidence

Your existence is your fate.

Always watching knowingly,

Biding time within your fears.

Awaiting the recession,

Within your heart you know it’s near.

Granted, you possess no nails,

No connections with the earth,

Walk a path to eternity,

Find what’s worth your worth.

Even through your running,

You always trusted your heart to know,

One day you would return home -

And, yes, you had to go.

The heart is ridden from it knots,

Your soul is free to bare,

For all the running that you felt to do,

The answers were always there.

You knew the path already,

You had traversed it times before,

The path looks like home now

Leads back to the nail-less door.

The door that has no nails,

For they have all been burnt.

No fixing to conceptions.

No fixing to what was learnt.

Opening the door now,

You breathe it long and deep,

Walking within the knowing,

The all, it’s yours to keep.

Very cool. We are who we are, faults, scars, missteps, straight lines, smiles, fear, happiness, sadness, joy, etc. We are who we are and when we realize that we can look beyond the worry and stand tall, be proud and shoot for the stars. The door has no nails because they have all been burned, but if the bridges still stand we are free to walk to the next adventure without always looking over our shoulders.

This was very thought provoking to me. I enjoy the concept and how you presented it. Very cool indeed.

Hey Jack thanks for swinging over my side ... and thanks for your thoughts too, what are we but a bunch of atoms that seemed to have inherited preconceived ideas ... :) may as well relax and enjoy the flow .. have a great day or night whatever it may be your side xx

[Jack...]

You are very welcome...from one bunch of atoms to another

life is a venture of learning, and in the end we hope a result is a learning, especially learning who we are and being comfortable in our skin so that we can love someone else...

what is that saying? "if you love something, set it free" and it may come back to you...

this is evidence...this poem has great pace and feel.

Just another 'life poem' she says....this is exquisitely divine. Finding and unleashing our own power in life is what the secrets of the universe are all about. You released the kraken with this one my friend.

'Burning the Nail in abandon'
