with
a life halved
far from the familiar
beyond security of certainties
separated from the sheltering embrace
where truth is shadowed vague and ambiguous
it’s here I am searching for the elusive
seeking that which often hides
hoping to find insight
I remain open
to all

I hope you find it, but remember to savor the journey. (I know you will!)
Thank you Marian! I drink deep of life while I wander in wonder! 🙂
beyond security of certainties… I suppose there in lies the adventure – if we grasp it
Life is the adventure Margaret… 🙂
Intriguing shape to this poem!
I enjoy creating concrete poems at times Kerry. Different kind of a challenge to say precisely what you want yet have it fall precisely into a geometric shape. A bit of writing and design art. FUN! 🙂
I really like the construction of this. The words fit so beautifully.
Thank you Rommy!
This is incredibly potent! 🙂
Thank you Sanaa! 🙂
I think we are all seeking that mystery, Rob.
I believe it is the mystery Sara, that keeps life elevated, and makes the journey so wonderful.
This is a lesson that sometimes takes a age to learn…if at all.
Yes, and seeking the mystery, that wonder and curiosity, is prt of what gives juice to your life Rob/Robin/OldEgg…! 🙂
Ah, the search for elusive… Sometimes you can find it. It is rather like reaching through sleep trying to “feel” a heartbeat. Beautiful writing
Thank you Susie, very much!
Nice to find your blog again today Rob, rereading some old comments. So many favorite blogs now defunct. Yours appears to be thriving, well done. I enjoyed this poem very much.????
Welcome Geraldine, and thank you for your kind words. 🙂
It’s the perfect place to be; open to the universe.
Fascinating what you discover in the times you can reach that clarity Vivian.
