It’s hard to explain, but this poem is dizzying. It feels as if it swirls the thoughts in your brain and your left only with the words that stand out; this poem. This is an intense, strong piece with being shorter and I love that about it. There’s plenty of wisdom beaming through these words. Rather amazed with this one. Thank you for sharing.!
If we get a grasp on the truth the truth most certainly will have a firmer grasp on us. Then, far from being an illusive apparition, it becomes the driving force behind our lives.
I discipline myself on being no disciple … I hold a belief in not believing what I cannot see to
Be true… What a powerful word ‘Belief’ is….. as is your writing Jacob….
Wonderful as always,
Lathe…
