"I Wonder"

 

 

A state of self,

rendered helpless by identity;

left astray temping the fates of when,

and destined to find this so called,

"Reality of Now."

Pondering about the weary

things of life.

Contemplating and rendering 

the thoughts of veracity

to verdicts of an imaginary

status of being.

 

"COME BACK TO US CHILD;

YOU HAVE WONDERED FROM
THE SAFETY OF YOUR FLOCK!"

 

Though who has strayed

from the truth of expression,

one who frees the tears

to fall for happiness, or they who

rage for the passions of living?

Maybe they are one in the same?

Perhaps we are all lost

and yearning to be free

to express?

"A state of self,
rendered helpless by identity; "

this opening, spoke for me too...
a mixed pinacolada cocktail, lost every day when she watched herself
In the doomed mirror, to decide wich culture she's this day ;(
Secretly she's all, within, and she knows, but it's hard to when,
All is so yearning for one unity in the Netherlands, *not my kind" more
Cosmopolitanned" as my collor of skin says too.... ;) I love your ending, it is
How I am myself too, freedom is all we need.... xo Thanks for this! Tommy!

"though who has strayed

rage for the passions of living?

What a tendrilous question to ask other writers of poetry to absorbe.
But a great question.....hder.

ahh yes the wonders and musings of a poet - I like the aside in the middle the speech - it rings ominously - the safety of your flock, as if the wolf is out and waiting now! unshielded! nice!!

...we are all yearning to be free, to express! And at that moment of creating we are truly FREE!

[Ed Hart]

thought can not reach it, because thought is always about then or there, in which no "now" resides...you want to know who lives atop the peak of time's wave, look at every created being except mankind, and a few pets...
