All Better

from the inside out

all my life it is now coming together

all my flowers they are starting to bloom

and all the angst that once did define me

all of that is now falling away

and all my quiet my controlled internal fury

is now my passionate my focused. . .

love of existence

and everyone of her riddles inherent

as all my life is now coming together

i can see the world and how we all fall in her place

together

I think of no better word than settling, somethings happen as they are meant which of course is easy to digest uncertainty takes time to figure out if we have any control at all. row row row your boat gently down the stream merrily merrily life is but a dream

[Davidgeo]

I really liked that review.

[John the Baptist]

The poet seems to be speaking of a dawning of insight here. He mentions the angst that apparently dominated his consciousness for some time and its recession before his newfound "love of existence." I can only say congratulations. Sometimes the sun can only be appreciated after a dark night of the soul.

[Shep]

my favorite two lines are these

and all my quiet my controlled internal fury
is now my passionate my focused. . .

For I truly understand where you are coming from my friend I have been there standing on the edged. nicely written.

For those who don’t feel this way often, it’s a rare feeling and to be held on to for as long as possible. To identify the markers responsible for it and try to keep them in one’s life. I know for a fact that happiness is inevitable for those who speak out and are not afraid of the world.

[Davidgeo]

In that last sentence of that review... is the reason why we appreciate each other. We come from literally the other side of the world from each other, but, I identify with you more than almost anybody regardless. Never stop being you... even if you have to "change", never stop being you.

[AYVID N]

I won’t and it would be nice if you don’t. I’m glad I trust my gut always and I see it was the right thing to do

[Davidgeo]

"change the notes but not the songs".... I will do my best to make sure your gut remains intelligent.

[Chris Shaw]

All positive, all good and that's a great place to arrive at :)

[Davidgeo]

Isn't though? I've tried the negative nasty monster way but it's just not a good to be place unless you have to be there. Even then, the ultimate reason must supersede the reality of that moment in every sense of the word. I'm not going to abandon my ability to be vicious, but I am going to make sure it only comes out when absolutely necessary. Like when something hidden needs to be exposed.

[Chris Shaw]

There is still some positivity. To temper that ability to be vicious, to minimise it to fewer occasions has to be good for your readers even if not for yourself. You are scary to me David when that side of you is unleashed.

[Kent Rawski]

Your thoughts bring to mind the song I can see clearly now by jimmy cliff. Congrats,making it to this side😛

[Davidgeo]

"I can see clearly now"... you have excellent taste in music my friend.

[KWP]

what a great place to be ...to be able to enjoy THAT moment right there enjoys the flow - life has a way of ebbing and its once we learn to observe it all, well then, everything else just seems to fall away, I'd like to say I am in observation mode constantly - but well, emotions still win the day :D XXX

[Davidgeo]

Observation mode is a myth, even for the scientists. We just have to figure out how to "look"... and see things as they are, fallen into places.

[KWP]

same thing ... no attachment

[Davidgeo]

I don't know what I'd do without you here Liz. I really don't.

[KWP]

I think you are being funny - but I know you are not - likewise to you ;)

[KWP]

I was listening to a podcast about the string theory - marrying that into my hippie way of looking at things - you and I are actually a perfect team :D

[Davidgeo]

Can't it be both?

And if you ever wanna nerd out on any particular approach to physics don't hesitate to let me know. String theory is beautiful, but there's more to talk about to say the least.

[Davidgeo]

Be honest though, this poem kinda sucked. But I think it can be good, I'm just not sure how exactly.

[KWP]

actually I think the poem came from a place of purity - which I may be wrong about - and for this reason, it appealed - you know when you just sit and write and whatever comes out comes - yeah well those are my 'self proclaimed' best poems :D doesn't matter if no-one else agrees - I know that in that moment I have tapped in to the oneness and that's a special thing

[Davidgeo]

You're not wrong. It's kinda why I didn't edit this one so much, I did come from a place of 'purity' so to speak. But I only appear to have artistic confidence, I really don't at the end of the day; I'm not totally sure what is good and what is garbage when it comes to myself. My "purity" is often "polluted"... it's just hard to tell the difference between the two sometimes. I feel kinda lazy today so I'll take your word for it.

I had a pretty classy review for your newest poem but my internet went down as I was posting it. I'm still kinda pissed off at this site right now so give me 6 to 8 more hours to recreate it.
