‘Truth Runs Deep’

Is it not what we see but in what we find...

‘Truth Runs Deep’

What is it
That we search for
So deep
That when we find
What we think we
Meant to find

There’s a hollow

And it’s not what
We thought it was
Meant to be

Or

It this the ordinary
Ordinary
For some

Seeking form
In nothing of
The sum

That adds
1+1
And subtracts
2

I guess it’s all
A matter of view
The colours
The hue
Allowing us
To count the
Numbers
And toss
The dice
Landing on the
Numbers
We already
Knew

Or

Is it only
The few
Many
But always
Few

Rekindled
Flame
No need for
A name
It’s all
Been a waiting
Game

A game of
Blame
Never leaving
You the same
Around and
Around
Voices without
A sound
Until into
This place
In time
We can be found

Searching deeper
Past drowning
And frowning
Standing feet
Firm
And
Grounding
Yet still
The void

Like

An empty
Windowsill
Looking through
The windowpane

Searching
Seeking
Is it all
A game

I hear your name
It’s a distant
Melody

Echos

The space
Where I
Thought you’d
Take me

Place

But

Around and around
In my memory
My past
Testimony
To self

Have you found
The vibration
Of your heartbeat

If not don’t
Stop
You need to
Seek
Listen
To your heart
Speak.

This poem flows through the reader's mind like a meadow brook, gentle but cool. It seems an endless journey, our thoughts traveling, perhaps on a fallen oak leaf, drifting through sunlight and shadows. And, where does journey take us, this endless reflection on the past, present and what might or might not be true? Our minds can liberate and trap us, and that's what I read here. And, that's why we have a heart... to speak, perhaps? A raw and beautiful poem.

dear Kelly... listening to lost echos... when
voices mingled between the mountains where
Spring flowers grew... I can appreciate your melancholy.
