A light into the darkness, where we must go alone.
Truth cannot be revealed for it can only be known.
Lessons may be replayed like a track set to repeat,
til we tire of that game and we think it has us beat.
In that surrender, we feel ourselves come undone,
the training wheels fall off and we've already won.
Like instincts are natural, we just go with the flow,
resistance leads to getting caught in the undertow.
Round and round we go, weave spirals and fractal,
following the path, never looking backwards at all.
We shan't cling to anything that is holding us back,
from a life of abundance without a concept of lack.
While we shall tell and show and extend the offers,
we're all responsible for what we put in our coffers.
There's no means to force what another will know,
but freedom and love do exist when we let fear go.
It is the journey of every human being to explore himself and choose the path
You always have strong memorable last lines.
I try to always close with impact. :)
How can you write so well here but get served up in the battleroom? 😁 #thestreets #rapordie #northernstreetsweepers #maplemafia #beavertownbombers #earlshardwearandbicyclerepair
But I'm not a rapper. :P
Nicely stated! My personal favorite part "resistance leads to getting caught in the undertow" This is AMAZING! Thank You for sharing!
Love the message and craft represented in this piece. It flows really well. Can I ask how you were able to justify the text in markdown.
I just centered it and and wrote to fit the lines that I wanted. Required changing a few things here and there, but it was done manually.
Wow ... that must have been a challenge ... so this is shape poetry too. Kudos. That is not easy to achieve and have it read so well. Color me impressed:)
@clayboyn Damn the first two lines are like heaven. A light into the darkness, where we must go alone.
Truth cannot be revealed for it can only be known.yes yes!! We must follow the bright path always even if you are all alone when no one even supports you and you are on your own.
I love this so much, I did not want it to end. It's just so good....Thanks @clayboyn, for continuing to create post and art that allows the reader to walk away more enlightened, changed and the way you pack the content it gives one some things to think about
Thanks Ren! Sharing the perspective is all I know. :)
You have used the word "shan't" therefore you will receive all the Cheezits.
Look at that 67!!!!
Thanks cat mama!
*Sigh
A deep emotion put into words. Kudos.."A light into the darkness, where we must go alone". When we are at crossroads between where we are presently and we are meant to be, the optimum decision lies with interacting with the mind.
They invented hugs to let people know you love them without saying anything.
I like this types of poetry.... and your poetry is really heart touching ..... you use nice words to express your deep feelings and I also noticed that the picture you used it’s really matched .... great work.

A man's journey although looking careless but a sincere one.. Everyone is responsible for their upliftment as far as freedom could afford...

I agree - The key to abundance is being without the concept of lack, and freedom and love exist when we let fear go.
