FOLLOWING A THREAD
Dawn arrives as a hint
As if it knows it is expected
But it seems I confuse its arrival
With my ability to Be
Interesting discovery
At twilight I slow
At night I waitΒ
Come morning I am again
Is this predestined
Or learned
Do I waste the nightΒ
With waiting
What waits
What slowsΒ
Actions?
Emotions?
I know neither is true
For I write at night
I fear at night
I anticipate the dawn
Leaving the feelings
Slow, Wait
Awake
As just perceptions
Then the awkward question
What is perceivedΒ
Time? Self?
Existence?Β
Ah! I appears we have strayed
Leaving Poetry behind
We have pierced the veilΒ
Philosophy is exposed
Shakespeareβs greatest question
To Be or not to Be!
I feel it is a wise man
That knows
A never ending hunt
This thread appears never ending

One of the most difficult things to do in poetry is to find an original
And compelling opening line...... you've outdone yourself here dear
Brother poet.... and then followed through most eloquently!!
ALL STARS!!.... well done!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!....T xo
Thank you Tony
Words pile up at 4 in the morning. Directing traffic is my job as they battle and bump for recognition.
Sometimes I do better than others
