Wading in Wellies on The Periphery Of Life

... it's kind of like swimming against the current ...

on the periphery 

yes the edge 

and sauntering 

in between 

see the centre 

calling out 

offering 

sights unseen

promise of 

joy

euphoria

paradise

bliss

blessedness 

rapture 

exultation

life’s kiss

ahhhhh yet 

we see it 

we feel it 

we taste it 

so true 

remaining an

elusive 

glimpse 

testing me

teasing you 

for the centre 

within

holds a single key 

peace 

love 

acceptance 

for you and yes for me

Reads like the struggle we often have to make sense of life itself and then you inject the hope and faith. If I may I would suggest leaving the final stanza off though as it gives it more impact?

[KWP]

Thanks for your advice but the last stanza is essentially ME to the core of my beliefs - I see where you are coming from it does weaken it - but it would be like cutting out my navel and telling me to be centred - cheers my friend x

What a fast flowing write KWP. You swim well! lol. great stuff!

[Sindu]

That is so captivating.. Like a energy dragging you in its spell.. do not know good or bad. You say it is good in the middle of the reverse current but gut says fight it.
But I guess, sometimes you have to take a leap.. to realise, right?

This called to mind a black hole in reverse - a white hole. I think it has been theorised about but anyway...
Your writing really makes the reader think Kwp and is always a pure pleasure to read.
Thank you for sharing and keep on keeping on - almost one quarter the way there dear poet, dear friend.

[ANTO]

.. 'blessedness .. rapture .. exultation .. life’s kiss .. '

What lovely words, what wonderful pictures, thoughts and feelings AND, what a glorious picture. I love living in a country area but oh! how i'd love to see that view from my window each waking.

You write with eyes and heart wide open. So enjoy reading your posts.. thank you so sharing them, this.

sometimes we are just so close to that utopia...to that euphoria, but we are right on the edge and can't seem to get across it...
