of FLESH and BLOOD and BONE...
There are answers
In my weary palm
Yet...
I do not ask
The questions....
Is it...
That I fear to know
The source
Of such
A potent force
That ebbs and flows
Around us
In the air...
Or....
Is it that I realise
That I
Of flesh and blood and bone
Was never meant
To understand....
Or know
Of the intent
Or
Of the plan....
Or maybe....
I just fear to hear
The starkest truths
For
Might they not
Incite
And bring
A loneliness
And
Dreadful
dread
Of death?
Or will...
The beauty bring me
To my knees
To gaze with longing
Through the trees
To view
The blank blue sea
That is the sky....
And....
Might I wish
To float the trees
To soar the blue
And
Leave the fears
Of life and death
Beneath me....
Much
Too
Soon?
Or does m
My truest heart
Already know
That through
The many miles
To treck
Tis not my path
Or
Say
To let breath go...
Even as I
Yearn
Once More
To
Fly...
There are answers
In my weary palm
Yet...
I will not
Ask
The questions.

Marionette,
What a brilliant, thought-provoking poem.
You are really a fantastic writer/ thinker.
My mind often wanders into these same thoughts, and it's so frustrating to never be able to discern answers, isn't it?
Wonderful, thoughtful writing, as always.
Hugs,
Matthew.
Ah...my lovely friend, I don't feel it's quite right but I'm way too tired to sort it now. Thankyou for liking it....we also both like Robert Frosts 'woods' poem...so of course we think alike ???
Oh, that's my absolute favorite.
I think there are different interpretations to it, but to me, he seems like me, so weary of this life, looking at the eternal darkness of the woods, but have obligations keeping him here. Sigh. Miles to go before I sleep, I guess.
You're a terrific writer, my friend, and the poem is perfect the way it is.
Matthew.
Brilliant I love your weary palm ???
The weary palm is meant to represent all the ways humans find to 'talk' to 'spirit' 'other' or 'God' depending on beliefs....you know, prayers, ouji boards, psychic writing etc. Thankyou my lovely friend ??
