a question of three

 

one might consider a broken bulb as a failed idea

listen. it's the one closest to your mind than matters

your intuition speaks in riddles sometimes

the illumined path is so close as to go unnoticed

breathlessly

you remember that whatever is alive

sends light, perhaps not so purely seen

but thankfully it's wired to your gut

and the reaction time..

 

relationships are said to have three elements

only one can save us.

all around you there is

the luminescent

bridge to the next moment

of your life

 

there is no big ticket to the sky

no amount of broken glass

or frazzled wiring can claim you

right there in the eyes of your soul

the most daring question answered:

 

it's courage

We all know our truths but the courage to accept..reject...move ...open....release...close...reopen----- my... my you do write with wisdom...... it does take courage. To rewrite our myths......a great first entry to our challenge dear one .....thank-you!

and the reaction time.. ------------- amazing lines. I adore them! Very poignant poem, you teach us how to not miss the certain moment which brings progress and perhaps - love. Great contribution to J. contest.

This is very good and a wonderfully different approach to the photo. I was simply thinking about the man in the photo, nothing else.

Very will done.

Profound. A few typos but other than that fantastic!
