Can I discover the beauty of you O my Soul?
By what way should I travel in my search?
Some said that if I could merely glimpse you I could rest from my wanderings.
I could be sustained by the glory of you.
The sweetness of your breath, the curve and shape of you, the music of your laughter and the light in your beautiful eyes.
They say before you I will die and be reborn at once.
You the object of my desire, where is your habitation?
I have known you from before forever.
You haunt my dreams.
You lie just outside my waking consciousness.
You have been the force, the pull, that restless hunger in me.
I am dry and barren and almost done. I need to drink from Your spring that I may live.
I weep wanting you. But the few tears I have left merely fall and disappear into the dust at my feet.
And my longings may very well break my heart.
But I would joyfully welcome the shattering of myself upon you that I might be pieced back together a better man.
Like a great clipper ship of old I long to crash on to your shores and be broken.
Guide me to that glorious destruction that I might be remade in You.
Most certainly not.
No, he’s special. (He will say, Like the Olympics!)
True 😉
Hugs… It’s so good to have you back. <3
True:)
Just wanted to say if I don’t get the chance, Merry Christmas to you and your Family and every good wish and good health for the New Year. Thank you so much for all your kindness to me I shall always remember it. Take care.
Kisses and hugs and a little jig for you sweet girl.
I am so pleased to know such a Gentleman, in every sense, not many around these days.
I I get to know Anna! (Bow) mylady
You are extraordinary.
Some people just say odd. 🙂
LMBO here!!! You see how he is, Anna! He’s incorrigible! But we adore him, don’t we. 😉
Beautiful, Plato.
Good morning my friend. I hope you and yours are well and that this seasons brings blessings and sweet peace.
Thank you, Plato. Blessings and sweet peace. That rests so nice and gently in my heart. I wish the same to you.
Lost for words, you have said it all.
Hey my friend. Hugs
Hi Plato – this is beautiful. A great poem – longing? love? Melancholy?
As Cheryl said – I’ve lost you from my mails. You’re not coming through any more. I had to check. I shall need to sort out how to refollow!
Keep at it Plato.
Thank you brother. Ive not posted in a few days. I hope I dont have to try and figure out some new stuff with the blog. I dont have the energy for that right now. It is always great to hear from you
enticing…but I wonder if we ever can know our own soul?
I’m trying to. I’ve looked for solutions outside myself for to long. Good to hear from you
we’re all one…including trees, but yeah, inside is where you’ll find an answer I believe
It is not showing anymore that I’m following you. Something about an RSS feed. Whatever it is it just happened. Did you fix it so it was not in the reader anymore? I resubscribed but I don’t know what that RSS feed means. Do I have to do something to get it?
I’ve not done anything to it sugar
WP reformatted the reader page. I had to go back through all the log addresses and remark that I wanted email notifications. Any blogs that were _________.com like yours were gone. I have no idea who else I lost. I doubt anyone realizes it. Just thought I’d let you know.
Well crap. Thank you sugar for telling me. I don’t know what to do about it though
I’ll check with a few others and see if they still have you in their list. It might be kind of spotty. I did find two that I still have. Theoldladywho.net or whatever it was and Mindfulbalance.org. Oh, I still have the Assholeswatchingmovies.com, too. Anyway. I’ll check with a few people and see if they’ve still got you. WP has formatted some other stuff, too. Fim is having trouble doing posts, and I have to log in pert near every time I go to some of the sites.
I’m not a smart man jenny….
🙂 You’re full of it Forrest, but you ARE a smart arse. 🙂 I sent emails to seven folks and asked them to check. I’ll ask Opher, too, because he usually responds when he gets a notification.
I have been missing some too I think.
Well sometimes there’s just not enough . . . blogs where they should be. 🙂
Sorry I messed up you black panther party
Just heard back from Fim. She’s missing a bunch, too. Including mine and Badfish. I hope your followers realize something is amiss. I thought it was odd that the post sat on there for days with no responses.
I was thinking I sucked:)
My black panther party? o_O. My groovy dude you couldn’t suck if you tried. <3
Its a line from forrest gump after he had the fight with the guy bothering jenny
I’ve forgotten so much if the movie. Guess I need to watch it again so we can speak Gumpese. No classes tonight?
They are over.
I’m having all kinds of issues wit WP tonight. How was your day? (And here I said I was going to get out of your hair till after Thanksgiving… 🙁 )
It was fine.:)
Glad. Leaving you be now… Maybe I’ll go watch Forrest Gump. 🙂
My teader is not working
Are we going to lose your words, buddy?
I didn’t realize you had reposted this. I didn’t get a notification. I wonder if no one else is…When you first wrote this I thought it was so sad. Now it leaves me quaking as you’re caught there in the undertow…
This is a beautiful poem that comes from a humble spirit.
And hopeful. 🙂 thank you friend.
Well said. and enjoyed
I think of all your stuff I’ve read, this has been the very saddest to me. You’re getting there.
I reconnected with it some recording it. I’ve been shut down some lately.
So much of your stuff is beautiful and hopeful. It just feels to me like there is something hopeless about this one.
I think its about me wanting needed to die to this phase in hope of a new way of being.
Do you feel like you’ve gotten past that now?
No. Its as profound grief as I’ve ever felt. There are better days and worse ones. But I’m trusting it is doing its good work
<3
So romantic, as I said in an earlier comment that I swore I posted from my iPad. I think WordPress ate it (as they do, the greedy buggers).
Its the part of the dance that hurts. Exquisite in the r apture. Exquisite in the pain. Thank you so much for playing. 🙂
“I realised that this is a game. There are various levels of freedom. The price I paid for the freedom to be myself was that others would not choose me.” I saw this in a piece of your called “Full Penetration” this is a concept I am working on in terms of choosing Self. I like very much how you phrased it. Great work!
