Qualities

Beyond the veil of names.

Every quality has a name
Each of those names can be seen
Every time we see the same
Each quality inward leads

We aren’t so much who we say we are
As who we wish we’d be "
Who it is we wish we were
Has no name we can see

This almost feels somewhat woolly and tongue-twisted. Almost.
The philosophical introspection makes a succinct poem, and an interesting read.

Some nice thoughts.

Thanks Charlie - I agree... Almost - life on the edge

that nameless self we strive for....yes we wish...but if we have those qualities that make us who we are and they are good qualities...
we won't have to wish for long.

nicely expressed.

Interesting. Thanks for your review Jacob. Sorry for the late reply - too much work these days. Soon I will get back here to do some reading.
