~ SOLITARY MAN ~
{surfs the falcon}
Sometimes, it is in you,
An inkling,
Where the search begins
Where the emptiness overwhelms...
We are often made to feel
That there exists another chance
Or some new tolling of the bells
Where a separate reality
Can help us redefine
That,
Which we already know
So well...
Can you cover me in cannabisย
And smoke my soul
In a Cherokee covered hell
Then roll my imagination
In a magnetic moonglow
Alter my state of consciousness
So the star constellationsย
Of my inner universe
All align themselves
That I might remain upright
Because
Sometimes my true place
Seems to elude
My ability to comprehend
That
Which so many others
Seem to take for granted.....
Am I a solitary man?
Secluded, within myself?
Destined
To remain forever
The Falcon,
Surfing the thermals,
Ever the observer,
With no safe place
To land?......
Tony Taylor

Absolutely stunning write Tony...one that really eats into all out mortal fears because regardless of life love jobs kids etc etc etc each one of us is utterly alone within the boundaries of our own minds and once we are awakened that one simple fact is completely and utterly terrifying...so there has to be more right? Somewhere out there. Hugs x
YAY!!...I am so happy that this clicked with you MARION.....I too am of the same mind.....when we come to a place of knowing....like this poem suggests....it usually floors us.....confusion....then questioning.....then acceptance....and once we accept that SIMPLE fact...that we ARE ALONE......a magical thing happens to us and we are reborn in our thinking and in our love and appreciation of this gift...this gift that we call LIFE!!...it becomes WAAAYYY more fun and involving....we begin to treat our lives and ourselves as a miracle......each and every one of us is a living miracle......and of course....after that there comes the KNOWING....knowing that there is much, much, more waiting for us after death!!......thanx so much for this.....and apologies for rambling on & on......you and I just have much in common when it comes to "Subject Matter"......stay groovy girlfriend!!......smiles....T xoย :ย )

Thanx so much JIM!!.......roaming alone is the only way to go!!......Peace......T xoย :ย )
Great
Hey T, I think Marion really did a good job at covering this piece. I think for many of us there is an inner awareness of the sheer enormity of the universe, of the vastness of existence. I loved the use of the falcon, who you always see hovering alone high above, detached from the lands, just drifting on the breeze...observing. For some of us drift and observe more than others. I love how deep you took the reader here. A fine write dear T. You allow the reader to become aware of how alone we each truly areย
Such a fan of your workย
Yoursย
Gwen :) x
โAm I a solitary man?
Secluded, within myself?โ
We are all alone in our skulls reaching out the best we can.
Great write Tony.
