Meditations II

 

The subconscious well

guides

 

in quiet grace

 

:

 

Humbled

by my own vision

in delicate silence,

 

lost in the art of

faultless longing.

You make interesting adjective choices here. However I am left feeling somewhat confused as I read this. I feel as if I am reading something quite profound, yet. It cuts off early and I am left feeling unsure of what it should mean. There are two parts especially that leaves me asking questions. What is the subconscious well? the faultless longing? And why is there a colon in the middle of verse 2 and 3? I think the well refers to the undercurrent of thoughts that exists in our subconscious that we only notice when we are meditating, but the faultless longing just strikes me as a bit odd. Faultless longing, as in there is no problem with the longing? Implying that all other longing has faults? Then what is the faultless longing? And I just don't understand the semicolon. Other than the points of confusion, I do like verse two and three, the verses of "quiet grace," "humbled," and "delicate silence," the imagery invoked is very nice.
