that it is for a reason

Post by justwalt » October 11th, 2009, 12:53 am

perfection mirrors purpose...

but it smells of the divine,
call it... creative-evolution

or the nature of design-
just a point, (mind you), of view,

I like to try to think free...
my best moments are the ones

that separate myself from...me-

well-

only moments, that's how they come,

burning within, then fading out...
my illuminary friends commend,

but their shadows carry doubt-

there is too much to know,

with too many lies to contest...
it places conflict in my way

like some unwelcome guest-

this separation... experience

never ceases to dismay,
like a secret, so expressed,

it may condemn, but not betray-

this freedom is a leap of faith,

as a net cast into the sea....
I catch incindental quiet fate,

which consumes the best of me-

that it is for a reason

is all that I can say,
again, it is this test of faith...

to keep the flesh at bay-

a combining of all the senses

channeled into one alone,
a super-peripheral vision of sort...

that's a moment in the zone-

I don't question it,

don't try to explain it away...
it catches me off guard, sometimes,

like a predator striking its prey-

a taste of perfection,

is so much more than a tease...
it separates my human state,

and puts my soul at ease-

"burning within, then fading out...

but their shadows carry doubt-

I especially like these lines,
so hard to put this in words,
however you've done it clearly, and with ease!
Can really really relate.
Enjoyed this read Walt.

thankx so much HP... hard to find the words, so true... I guess about 30 hours of finding words that somewhat explain what I feel when these moments manifest. (Divine moments of truth), is all I can call them. A few numbing seconds of "out of body" type clarity...a rarity in my life, but a seemingly increasing event as of late.
It's exciting of course, also sobering, but it leaves behind a very calming effect. Thankx again-

Thankx also to you, Perdida, I sometimes wish I could sustain
this separation... thing, especially since I spend all week working
in NYC and only weekends at home. But I am near many good
friends in both places... Thankx

walt
