unfinished thoughts

[lifetimelearner]

Here in my heart lies unrest
the beast with it's sharpened sword
puncturing my being with such force
as to awaken my slumbering soul

you may stay if you like,I say
and teach me my song
for you are my guide
my only hope

I can longer perceive my longing
through thought or deed
for as I pursue
it gains momentum

kindness and patience
lie open for my mentor
it has no feeling
but torment

my breath is silenced
great joy may be yours
cries my teacher
but the being must unfold

light will shine forth
with a message
and it will sow
a vision of hope

peace and happiness
follow the seedling
propelling through the shadows
searching for the radiance

but there is no substanance
for the faltering
hesitance pushes into darkness
and weeds grow thick

my souls cries
for the necessary
and the needed
surrender is imperative

so where is my lesson
it's bound to my ardor
where it has always
been attainable


bless me with discernment
my teacher
for I am fragile
and in need of ferocity

fear has a mighty hand
but conquered it shall
for my teacher
gives me instruction

vacate the transport
of all cognition
rest complete with the wisdom
of the ancients

peace is yours

do you ever look back and say why did I write that
this is one of those times

[lifetimelearner]

you wrote it
get over it

[lifetimelearner]

as I gaze out my window today
I still feel the urge to run away

where will I go I say ?

I close my eyes and rest
I wake up to find myself in the middle of the forest
surrounded by animals
they are all looking at me with earnest eyes
I feel loved

I reach out to touch one of them
and they run off
leaving me alone
but I still feel their eyes upon me

the energy they radiate is amazing
I feel the sun where is there is none
I feel the strong urge to take root
and allow myself to be a part of the forest

yes I shall be like a tree
and extend my branches to
provide refuge to the animals
I will be their shelter from the world

as my trunk grows and my branches extend outward
I feel how strong I am
but my strength comes from my compassion
not my size

look at me I am extending towards the sky
I am breaking through the mist
at last I see the sun
I knew it was there providing nourishment !

but now I am so tall I cannot see my little friends
maybe growing so tall was not the right plan for me
I want to be lower to the ground again
the sun is pleasurable and provides nourishment

but I like being smaller
and closer to my friends that cannot climb
so this is the plan
I will remain here

this is where I am needed

thank you

[profitatlast]

lifetimelearner, these verses are great. Are you writing as thoughts come to you or are you preparing them and reorganizing them before you write them in here?

Well done
