On a silent night When I was engulfed in dark clouds Pondering on the essence of faith seen and unseen
My inner-voice thundered to me:
Focus not on the actual that earthly minds can calculate
Dive into the universal lake of nature.
The divine is of all that is created and recreated
Like season are to nature
Mankind is to cycles…
There’s a flow that shouldn’t be disturbed
The price of suffering will be at hand
And yet I tell you – there’s no higher learning
Without suffering…
Wisdom then should be a bed of comfort
Knowledge without common-sense is a lover
That is………………destined to be-head you…
Everything you see, you can’t hear—lightning?
Everything you hear, you can’t see—thunder?
Do your eyes and ears deceive you?
Do you see me with your eyes?
Do you hear me with your ears?
One doesn’t have great evidence to
Believe nothing.!?
This is knowing the unknown
This is not knowing the known…

Whoa. Such a profound last stanza! Such thoughts assembled provide a strong framework for midnight climbing. My upper body strength is not quite there but I’m ready for the challenge of your musings. Nice!

It’s really something when we begin to unravel on the page and words scatter, hopefully in a coherent way. I think you are a terrific writer – a nice variety on your blog by the way. I also like the way you unveil without revealing…. yourself 🙂

you keep making me smile. you are a peculiar reader and insightful. yeah I never wanted to be a one style poet. I challenged myself. When I first started writing poems, they all had to rhyme. Now I love free verse. Thank you for noticing. you are a sweetheart. I am humbled to be read by you.
