[bodytext] =>
What respect is shown~
to the uncrowned King
What chance would have David~
without his sling...
What unflown bird~
trapped in December sings
What purpose is served~
by my remembering...
~
What strangeness twice~
the same as once seeming
What plugged ear can keep out~
all of the screaming...
What know the sinned against~
of redeeming
What purpose is served~
by my dreaming...
~
What a waste of wings~
the fear of flying
What faith can survive~
all of the lieing...
What a bother seems~
anything trying
What purpose is served~
by my not dying...
~
What can free guilt~
of its own accusing
What about clarity~
is confusing...
What pain believed true~
unproved by bruising
What purpose did you serve~
by me abusing...
I realize my lamentation here is a wee lil' bit, 'sing~songy', but, that's just the way it came to me...

Some thing's go unoticed not because we don't see them but because we don't want them to see us for possibly we are afraid of preconceived notions that may prove to be unfair, for only our heart alone can truly render an honest asscesment to our motives. What purpose does it serve any one especially our selves, not to have purpose in life to begin with? this is truly a peice of writting that not only looks in to the abyss of life, but also give's it a reason for exzisting in the first place. You give this writting purpose, and that purpose is you.
Another one of your beautiful and deeply sensitive writes.

OMG sis, I so can feel this piece, especially now. I really need to PM you. Geez, I feel so connected to you through this piece. These lines hit me hard...
"What unflown bird~
trapped in December sings

by my remembering..."
Calming the voices that haunt, I find to be so damn difficult. I would like to quiet them and I am so working on that right now. Inner strength and self-love again needs sown. Thank you for sharing this. I really needed this read.
Peace, love and hugs,
Laura |

As we create our own reality your deep self questioning incantation has the supreme benefit of helping others see their own course.
There are stressors and times in our lives when we take the narrow view of the world around us to such an extent that reality becomes distorted. The negative in our lives is constantly reinforced and the positive around us is discounted as being irrelevant, or even non existent. Options to help solve our problems are rejected as having no merit, until it seems as if there is no possible solution. An unrelenting and oppressive sadness comes over us which causes a very real pain and if the pain is further compounded by betrayal and sudden loss, weeks, months, and even years go by as if we are trapped in a dark cave, a myopic tunnel that runs only from our constant inner speech, thought and dialogs we begin to think that there is no relief and that this pain will never end. Tomorrow will be the same and worse still is giving up in disregard, no longer caring for the sacred contract between the soul and the flesh to grow and multiply allowing self indulgence to become the rule of our lives.
I am grateful in having good people reinforce the understanding of wasted or unused talent.
I also have the feeling of flying and perhaps going to outer space or having nano-technology kick in so I can go to outer space as either fantasy delusion or pipe dreaming its a very juicy carrot to get my inner donkey uphill.
In the movie 'Contact' where the character played by Jodie Foster laments at seeing a cosmic event "they should have sent a poet...pure poetry... the should have sent a poet" I am that poet in waiting!
Lastly if the feeling of "whats around the corner" doesn't provide a juicy enough carrot consider the purpose served is to help each other and this is entirely up to you.
Once again dearest Maiden you words evoke and stimulate such deep thoughts and emotions.
Blessings
Dantien

How do I follow something that is all said by Yangdantien. But to say that you continue to express yourself with great passion and desire to let your talent for writting illuminate from your piece of work. You continue to let your feelings express your very soul.
May your heart be filled with peace and joy each and everyday

I feel the searing anguish and uncertainty in this poem so strongly it could be my own questioning.
You write with such beauty and clarity that this poem was a joy to read despite the knowledge that it was not a result of happy experiences.
The answer to all these questions can only be found by truly understanding yourself, and that is a very difficult thing to do. You are already working towards this as a result of writing this poem.
I really connected with this, it was lovely to read,
Dom |

My dear KerryLynne .. this was unbearably painful to read. Not only for
the truths that you've versed, but for the affect they've had on my own
wearied soul. There is a multitude of emotion between each
line that tugs at my heart and tears at my being. I am familiar with
these musings of a searching soul. In need of any evidence that
what has gone on .. what has been done .. what has manifested ..
was reasoned and consummated with purpose.
I do hope that penning this write, was cleansing and
releasing. Keep up the search and bravely ask questions ..
Wonderfully written ~

You are very talented. This work is
powerful and my heart goes out to
you. Many times in life there seems
to be no purpose at all and perhaps
there is'nt. I've not the insight to go
into that field. Yet I do know that many times
the pains we face will make us stronger.
Kind of like a trial by fire. I wish you all the
best in surviving your trials. Truly , Doug |

| A deep and thorough questioning as to why we endure that journey we are on and what purpose can it have served, especially the painful parts. I gathered much from this piece to sit and ask the same questions. I came away knowing my strength and wisdoms come from every day which challenged and attempted to crush me. I thank you for this beautiful piece and shall read it often to help my strength grow. Thank you dear heart. |
