This summit
-is made of mist-
original poetry
.jpg)
That arrives during motionlessness
On the crest of its grey rainbow
My body discards itself and
Selects the infinite.
Concerns are exchanged for urgings:
Proliferation must go on.
{dark . corners . vibrant . facebeam
unknown setting . features morph
you . I . it . We . vague
certainty escapes.
that I am, even
cannot be}
Gaurantees vanish; there is only discovery.
In a moment that explores itself
There is an updrafting ephiphany:
The summit of petrified awareness
Is the foothills, veiled in mist.

Notes
This poem explores the paradox of lucidity and confusion that comes with consciousness. It seeks to show parallels between the dream state and the waking state, and the states of ignorance and knowledge. In short, it is a nondualistic vignette expounded through the medium of dualistic languaging. (As always, feel free to forego reading these notes; they are optional, for those who desire a concrete aid to fuller comprehension.)
Stanza 1-3
There's a wavelength...must go on..
Stanza 4
dark corners...cannot be..
Stanza 5 & 6
guarantees vanish...veiled in mist..

Explaining the stanzas is a good effort and idea that you made !! Your poetries were hard to understand otherwise!! I mean, due to the tough language, vocabulary and deepness they hold !!
Nice work as always :)
Your poem is very cool, I like it. I love to hear poetry combined with music, when I am stressed or again a lot of problems in my life, poetry and music are my friends. You can smartly write poetry with, because I can not write poetry. Thanks for sharing @d-pend... :)
Enjoy the journey my friend ^-^
Great poem.. I didn't really like literature in school but this is a masterpiece. and thanks for the analysis without which I wouldn't have understood the poem 😂
Please follow me and also check my blog. Thanks
Good stuff. Poetry is hard for me to understand sometimes. It takes time to digest and it's usually days later, or even experiences later when I finally have the ahh haa moment. But your describing a few lines and the general prose helped.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Glad you got something out of the explanation. Thanks for dropping by @drpuffnstuff
"what we thought was the summit of perfection is only the foothills of a higher density of wholeness." This to me is becoming a greater truth with each unfolding moment in time. Great work as usual my friend!
@d-pend, Such a powerful poem indeed. Probably being excellent spiritual concept. Look at..Your introducing style..Its more stunning and more tunes gave me. Superb graphical drawing included here. Looks these content- "Proliferation must go on" this is serious one. Its deeply meaningful. Go your inside heart deeply. Think what's the meaning here.
That's powerful meditation story. Also long discussion title.
Its nice stuff. Coolest maybe harder to understand what's a content here.
Not a simply content. I try to understand spend more times because I loved your poems and blogs. Appreciated writing @d-pend.
Nice combination and sometimes your poem be helpful for resolve stress and provide our brain. If we think much brain will be work and find any problem.
Peoples know if our brain better working in life, no worries to change our life journey for success way.

Keep it up and doing
peaceful scenery
like post
Whether you are a poetic?
Only great poet that can create a meaningful poem ...
You are indeed very good @ d-pend
What is the body? What is the mind? What is the soul? Are questions I asked after reading this piece. Is the body separate and apart from the infinite? Or is it merely apart of it?
This thing called consciousness never ceases to baffle me. In a good way.
That said @d-pend, your words dance and your stanzas mesmerize. If these words don't make sense, it's because I am in a swoon. Thumbs up.
Take a bow Ladies & Gentlemen another Great Poem is written by @d-pend <3
To be very honest i have read English Poetry only in English Syllabus Books including W.H.Davies, Julia Carney and a few others. Actually i read most of the poetry in my Native Language "URDU"
For this amazing poem i had to go dictionary to check the meanings of the tough & deep vocabulary which @d-pend used in it's poem. Isn't it show the caliber of this Great Mind Guys? In fact it does for sure :)
What an amazing lines with great Message
Thank you so much Mr. Daniel Pendergraft for writing an amazing piece of Art <3
Bravo! great Job done My Great Friend
Stay Blessed <3 <3
In high school I used to go to philosophy classes and native language. My philosophy teacher was a man who got tired or did you delight, that about how was his day. He teach us always about what could be human brains, why we live and whysomething it's not illusions or an illusion. But the most shocking phrase which I was told by a teacher ... has been told of my native language teacher: "if what we are doing now is an illusion and that when we sleep is actually the truth?"...

I love how you explain your words , wonderful poem Daniel!❤️
"A person of great virtue is like the flowing water.
Water benefits all things and contends not with them.
It puts itself in a place that no one wishes to be and thus is closest to Tao.
A virtuous person is like water which adapts itself to the perfect place.
His mind is like the deep water that is calm and peaceful.
His heart is kind like water that benefits all.
His words are sincere like the constant flow of water.
His governing is natural without desire which is like the softness of water that penetrates through
hard rocks.
His work is of talent like the free flow of water.
His movement is of right timing like water that flows smoothly.
A virtuous person never forces his way and hence will not make faults."
~Lao Tzu
Do you have a mirror in your enviroment? Well look at yourself, what do you see?
You might say yourself, well not quiet... what you see is the reflection of you a billionth of a second ago.
The same way reality is, you see what was, you are still creating the now and what will be the past.
Your vocabulary is on another level, I always stumble upon new words, The first image is very fitting. Great poem and as always thought-provoking, I once had a lucid dream and in it, I realized that much like in conscious life freedom is an illusion. Also your breakdowns are a great edition.
Bravo a most excellent piece, one is reminded most forcibly of the romanticism and vision of my dear friend Mr Wordsworth. Oh to relive those days wandering in solitude amongst the brier and daffodils my head in the clouds and my soul free from the torment I now endure. Keep up the good work
You had me at your aphoristic title 'This summit is made of mist', Daniel.
A poem for the initiated, who have experienced this placeless place where words and self cannot reach - a mystical state that cannot be earned, but is mysteriously granted. I think by association of two quotations, one by Nietzsche:
“It is the stillest words that bring on the storm. Thoughts that come on doves' feet guide the world."
Another by Yeats:
“We can make our minds so like still water that beings gather about us that they may see, it may be, their own images, and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life because of our quiet.”
Thank you, for sharing your stillest words with us alongside exquisite art, as a reminder that this region of the soul & human possibility is ours, too.
To aspire to this capital of spiritual riches precludes violence in thought, words and deep... which is why we must, at least, try to get there.
Carry on walking in Beauty, and have a blessed day, pilgrim _/|_
100% as always :) I too appreciated the notes. Thanks!
"guarantees vanish= vailed in mist"
will you explain in terms of why you give the mean of guarantees vanish= vailed in mist?
I think it is difficult to understand, because the parable in a poem there are judgments.
Thank you for this @d-pend
