It's not often I find myself lost within a reading and having to finish and then return to seek out clues on how to piece layers and images together. Quite the taste of my own medicine, I would reckon "Find a Clue" Of life that's left to give Gift beckoning to sieve Sits full a glass to own Oft empty has been known Has been is what I am Lost sight to write a sham Shed hope for what's to come The solitude I've won Sheltered behind the walls Denying none of falls Owning all of the self To shield me from the wealth Of lights flashing here, there I cease to show a care For questions never end Answers they never send Special or not I've fought In others' eyes been sought What ought be seen within Not in recycle bin Flushed away, discarded Facing the day I dread When all I have to be Is what they think of me Fingers enough to count The ones left to dismount To be rid of this void With me too long has toyed Honing skills worthless task Nothing more left to ask It can't go on like this Giving of self remiss To reckon a time come To see inward wholesome Without a mirror there For another to care So little work to do Why can't I find a clue How to sit, be at ease Without my little trees Shaking leaves down on me Endless colors to see And purposes to be No emptiness to flee Into words wove not heard Absurd silence of bird That knows not it's own call Nor which flock to bear pall Holding reflections tossed A life's thoughts be the cost To lose myself in sound So that it might be found goddddanmmmn that video stirs up some feelings. Thank you. I am glad you felt moved by entitled. I love this poem here "find a clue" it speaks so much to the desperation we all feel in this generation. the empty restlessness. please keep sharing, my friend. it is very inspiring for me as well. |

I have been here before Intent to share, not to save Time to settle the score Close my heart and take to grave There's two who won't brood Nor distrust my honesty Celibate hermit mood For them, my daughters, I see Needs fostered without friends To share generosity For wrongs I've brought, amends To shake pain and suffering It finally makes sense This, my fated endless strife Love for another whence An empty soul lives his life |
