Waiting Day

3/11/2014

0 Comments

 
Upon my word I must say
   Did not expect to wait today
Since I now have some time
   I may as well birth a rhyme

For my friend does travel here
   She may be near
   So I keep my cheer

Spend my time
   Construct rhyme
   Deeper to find

To see what secrets my soul
   Let go lies my mind holds

Grow, expand; to the very brink 
   Past the known and other's think

Until a place that is sweetly pure
   Come upon the very shore
   Walk inland to see more

So I wait for my friendly date
   The weather sweet at any rate

Past time and space
   Past life and race
   Onward to create

To seek and see what light does offer
   Shaking off this earthly coffer

Growing up into the cosmos
   Meeting with the holy ghost

Laughing at this thing called life
   With so much pain and strife

When the infinite lies just beyond
   The shackles time does put uponoked 

Out bodies which must and will forth age
  Until they reach their end of days

Our spirit is more than just a body
   Tis more than bones and brain
Look beyond mere anatomy 
   And the truth becomes plain

Many seekers have looked and seen
   Just behind our daily sheen

It is there
All places
All times
You need only quiet the mind

The connection lies in this silence
   Fear and growth have correspondence

Expectation is the root of pain
   Our mind makes stories
   But reality
Is not always the same

My mind today thought I would wait not
Irritation could have got

Instead I see
The reality
I am the company

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
