Transient Thoughts From Peru

At times, the fusion is bound strong
Connected, joined - we are one
In this everywhen

Then, there are times
We may be reminded, we are indeed
Just a spec of dust
Floating, alone, all alone
In the vastness of this reality,
this life, this moment

fearful of connection
Is not commonplace
Connection offers warmth, love,
meaning of life

Fear of aloneness
It’s everywhere in this everywhen
But why?

Comfort in aloneness
Lavishes fortitude
Throughout one’s being like an
Eggshell armour waiting to be cracked.

Alone -
Allowing space for answers to form to the
thousands of questions we
Subconsciously ask ourselves
Day in, day out, this life ..,.

Drifting weightless and in solitude is like an orgasmic dream -
At the zenith,
A beginning to know all that is
A starting point to the kind of love we spend a lifetime attempting to know, to understand.

‘Grow roots,’ they say, ‘build your life in those roots.’

Float, fly, move and change is the other option.
Roots can become stagnant in the swamp of life.

Consistent change offers a view with fresh eyes,
At each bend, at each corner.

There are those who will always come to the departure gate to wave a soggy goodbye.

Then there are those
Who understand in transience we can truly learn to fly.

Come dearest - I love you - fly with me

Hi there - thanks for your thoughts - it was written in a serene moment - those are the ones I love 😃 I appreciate your thoughts - love X

[Coyote Poetry]

Was my pleasure dear friend and you are welcome.

Solitude and meditation are the foundations to find those answers I believe. Being alone is different for a of people. For those it comforts, others are tormented by it. To recognize it as an opportunity can be beneficial.

Nicely done.

I take this as being connected with your surroundings and moving on to create your own paradise for yourself .you have a lovely form of writing . the way you match tone and mood for the story.well done as always

[Davidgeo]

There is so much positivity and love, put together in a 'growing' way... without being too much of a pretentious a*****e. It's very good writing, it's why I love the sentiment you shared here; written poorly I'd probably respond to this in a very different way. I do wish I could fly like you did here. On a critical note, word economy is a phrase you should never forget. If you pared this down to it's "roots" it would be one of the better things anyone could read.

[KWP]

Yup - word economy is not a strong suit in my house of cards - - I do however take your point :D

[Davidgeo]

Be careful on your journeys, bring a merc with if you can. Very strange things happen in the middle of nowhere... every village has a few predators posing as housecats (so to speak).

(if you stumble upon a certain type of illicit trade village they will kill you for business purposes)

[emmajoy]

This is love with and in life. A look of understanding at the all around and you, Self, in the midst of it. Your thoughts touch subjects with great subtlety but stoic consideration.. then, veer into another plane, then, on and on, dropping hints as to how your mind works,

',, Alone -

thousands of questions we
Subconsciously ask ourselves
Day in, day out, this life ..,. '

There seems to be a change of tone.. a more thoughtful E., looking with gentle eyes and tender heart rather than the mind in charge..

'Then there are those
Who understand in transience we can truly learn to fly. ~
Come dearest - I love you - fly with me'

Superb writing, laid carefully.. an open book with tissue laid between each page.. Perhaps.

[John the Baptist]

Interesting look at topics such as the competing needs for both change and stability. In this level of evolution, perhaps the best we can find is a balance between the two. Very thoughtful work.

[KWP]

Well you are right of course - it is all about the balance - and when zero point gets too crowded we can take another trek around the rim just to see what's New :) thank you my friend X
