Stuck in A Void

.... oh that ache .... yeah you know the one :)

an ache 

a void

an empty space 

a crevasse 

drawing one near 

it comes 

it goes 

yet always there

alludes to make 

life clear 

we are born 

as true 

potential

we are born 

as an expression

we are born

to be, just be, you see 

yet we must live to

learn the lesson 

fulfilment 

is it what we search

as we scurry though each day?

money, possessions 

or career

won’t take this ache away

a deeper sense

captured defence

attack 

combat 

the empty space

we drift it’s true 

yes me, yes you

seeking

answers 

we did misplace

Your fluent upon words's very good. You write with such a great flow.. Always enjoyed it. Yes, I believe, even the whole world's stuck in.. into something.. or somewhere; trapped inside the closet of hearts / combats for loves from where it only finds "Aches". Yes, An ache's all time fav. of heart.. so, I think, you did a great joy to get down to this write; bled in deepen words. Well written!

hey there's a poem in that review - cheers for reading my friend :D XX

[andrew mitchell]

yes ... reminds me of a couple things:
the story of the scientists scaling the impossible cliffs of knowledge only to arrive at the top where Holy people have been all the time
and:
" Every person born has knowledge of God because God has put that knowledge in all people." from Romans 1 (18-25)
love the pic .. gotta be a risk taker on such a journey ..i find calming within your insightful meditating poem .. always a joy and blessing to be challenged by your work!

I like that quote - and I like even more what you have written about the cliffs - we are all a part of the universal cycle I think and therefore it is only natural that we have all the knowledge within us already - if only our wee brains could comprehend :)

that pic is Pismo Beach California early in the morning - out and about on my own ... thanks E much much love to ya XX

ohhhhhhhhh! you just put me in one of my favorite memory spots :))) i did travel nursing a bit and on one of my Ca. assignments i decided to treat myself before i started to work .. i pulled off at Pismo Breach and rented a 900 sq foot room overlooking the beach .. so so peaceful .. sea gulls hung in the wind just 5 feet away from my little balcony on the second floor .. and those nights with sea winds and sand and waves and moon .. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .. i am there all over again whenever it comes to mind .. so thanks babe! :)

oh man - heaven - Pismo was one of my first stops on my round the world trip way back when - it was a lovely quaint sea-side town - I'm told it is home of the surfer language :) Much bigger though - but a sunrise walk on the beach no less magical XX

Oh my friend, an emptiness inside of us that will not get quenched as easily indeed.
If I may leave you with a quote I was reminded of Blaze Pascal: There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.- Happy Easter weekend!!

Hey Chick - yes nice quite - resonates well with my thoughts - Love to Ya XX

on one hand i see two people who love each other but just can't seem to make it work...there is that ache of loneliness....two hearts aching, breaking.

but i also saw emily dickinson in this piece....her solitude...her reclusiveness, but the yearn to have love within the crevasses of her life in her father's house.

she tried to reason it out, and that life worked for the poet in her...but love was only in her imagination.

such depth to your poetry...there are angles...

[KWP]

and what I love about this is being able to see things I didn't know were there - awesome really - i love the way everyones minds work so damn differently - cheers Jacob and I hope you are having a lovely weekend XX
