In the ever after always maybe sometimes of my mind
I break the glass, I cut the line and fall away from Time
Mountains seem somehow movable and temptations incomplete
When I slip away from winter day and wallow in white heat
Living then in opposition to the things that I’ve been taught
I will slice the shell wide open to find what I have sought
Until in my hand a beating heart, both delicate and strong
Suddenly seems like everything that I’ve wanted all along
Shouting then to no one, I will tell the world what I now know
That something may be nothing, but nothing still can grow
For it’s already everything anyway and that I can’t deny
But it was only in the letting go that I could reach the sky

Well hunni, to be honest, to me it seemed like a bit of both, too.
I'm not exactly sure what to say about this.
I know that when I got to the end, I somehow thought it wasn't really finished, but I dunno why. Almost as if you had more to tell...
Good write hun. I especially like the second stanza, to me it flows better and shouts louder than the rest of the poem.

well...lol..it figures that I am the only one this makes perfect sense to.
I see it as chasing what you long for with reckless abandon...knowing it isnt wise but doing it anyway to find happiness and contentment....a breaking of all rules in the search for the " thing" your heart desires.
I've been there.........
Very well done my friend

| I stopped by only because I saw your name and I always love your words whether or not I understand..LOL. Today I do. Letting go isn't always an easy thing to do..but always necessary if we are to grow as poets or as human beings. I have finally made peace with someone who is dear to me..and only in doing that am I able to let go..does that make sense? My heart was so troubled..I couldn't let go until I did that..anyway it's done and I feel at peace..brilliant write by the way and I was so happy to see your name :-) |

As usual I see multiple meanings behind and within your words. I have a feeling that there is not one of your poems that says just one thing.
I see at least three in this one. I'll cling to the one I like best, but won't assume it is right. I would not be surprised if all three were true. You truely are an expert at weaving words. |

I thought about this for awhile ...read twice and left, came back and still felt as if it meant the same ...
We chase rainbows, searching for our pots of gold. Regardless of all of those things we've been told. Then one day we stop running, look about the place we stand ... and find the treasure we were seeking ... all along, held in our hand.
Sometimes when you stop trying to make something happen ... it just will ... of it's own accord, and the results may not be what we thought we wanted ... they are often better.
That's just my impression ... ( but what do I know ? )
Great write SNM

"Living then in opposition to the things that I’ve been taught." Yeah, sometimes they don't teach us enough and sometimes they teach us the wrong stuff. I like the last line as well.
Great piece! Cheers! |

We all must hold onto hope, even if it seems to leave us. And if we shout long enough, eventually someone might hear us. Profound.
peace

After rereading this and discussing it a bit with a close friend of mine, I now see this a bit diffrently. I almost wonder if self struggling is the wrong catagory. Too bad there is not one called self inspirational!
I can almost feel you growing and see the needle of you internal compass swinging back to north.
Good for you! and great write! |

I really like the last stanza,
but the whole is very good.
I also liked the blonde
girl in the string thong
in the ad that appeared under
your poem.
