The Grasping Hand and the Hungry Heart

The feeling elusive, I try to capture it,
The moment gone even as I savour it
The reality passing into history,
How to hold it forever the mystery.
Still I linger, trying to glimpse it,
The aching regret at having lost it
The anger rises at rekindled fires,
Self rebuking awakened desires.
And as I let go, no longer seeking it,
An inner voice says I will retrieve it
No longer relying on uncertain externals,
I have calmed the waters in restless channels.
To no longer search for, or deny it
The impulse to hold close, held quiet
Clarity comes in still peace
I can have, and hold, and release .

Good write...I liked this as lot. The journey that takes place through this poem is beautiful, how the narrator's state of mind changes...and it flows so nicely..great work, keep it up!

wow. How positively sad that your pages are not visited more often!
You are a most gifted, (albeit underrated) poet, spike. This
was amazingly close to my heart tonight. How cleverly
you've woven your words. And the message...Wow! (hate that
word, but it's all I can come up with .. forgive my feeble mind
this night).
"The moment gone even as I savour it"
Oh my! *heavy sighs*
And that last stanza, was, well it was just brilliant spike!
