Brow furrowed
Deepening thoughts
Pondering, probing, attempting to pierce the still cloud of unknowing
Existential realities
Finitude’s polarities
The Forge and the Crucible of my Soul’s Alchemy
Transformation
From Base to Noble
Seeking the secret to Life’s hidden Elixir
Peering deeply
Unblinking
I see vague forms, hear strange utterances
Straining now
On the edge of me
Profundity rises before my eyes
A voice speaks
In low, slow, fluid tones
I move closer, expectantly humbled, receptive to the Deep
“You are”
“So full”
“Of shit. Chillith thyself out boy. Methinks thy serious demeanor is most comical ”
I laugh
At me
Perhaps I have found the elixir after all
Be most Groovy!
Loved the “gotcha”!
Reminds me of when my son says to me ” why so SERIOUS?” ala the Joker.
I’m digging your stuff.
I was laughing at myself. 🙂 was taking it all much too seriously.
Gotta say, dude, you have great stage presence!
There is that part of me that is full of shit:)
Must have practiced a lot? 😉
Yes mam 🙂 but that was just me making fun of myself
I’m just teasing, you know. Right?
Yes 🙂
Humor really does balance out life:) I love the twist at the end.
lol…it’s good to laugh…
🙂 I’ve not been able to write anything lately eccept with my head. It all sounded or felt like this and I kept having the same reaction to it so I finally just wrote something making fun of myself. It was where I was and was fun. Thank you for playing.
Oh, you’re a funny, groovy guy, aren’t you! LOL I loved the build up and then the two pictures. I’m glad to see you haven’t lost your sense of humor. 🙂
It made me laugh. I’m glad you smiled. There is a most irreverent side to me that enjoys making fun of serious folk especially when I see it in me. I wrote a story about clowns a long time ago I think I am going to get that out and redo it sometime.
Thank you for playing!
My favorite sculpture ever. Rodin’s Thinker. Great poem. We should not take ourselves so seriously.
