YOU

Should you be thee?

IN a seance tale of hide and seek

I have found the word

I have to tell

It's terribleness trembling

As I begin its tale.

You. Yes You

Who lack a face, a heart & soul,

You who make a split between you and me

Which finds us lacking a complete togetherness

And a hiding of thee.

Thank you everyone! I recalled Martin Bulbar book I & Thee, I didn't read the book but read about it. I think this is where the idea manifested.

this is heavy....and reminds me of a séance scene in the movie "the uninvited" from 1944...and how suddenly the wine glass flew across the room into the fireplace.

the spirits move us, the spirit of love moves us...and pain can come in those moments when the other is hiding...and there is no complete togetherness.

I love this poem, because so many of us could ever truly find the words to tell. What you have done is exposed the true color of a harden heart. Great work!

This poem gets me thinking of the existential consequences of this schism between “me“ and “thee“. If “thee” would stop hiding, then “me” and “thee” would join just as when two soap bubbles touch to become one big bubble. Perhaps the “Source“, the Big Eternal Bubble breaks into smaller bubbles so as to multitask every artful possibility so it may experience every possibility simultaneously. This means that the big Source Bubble is hiding behind its divisibility. All the smaller bubbles shall once again come together to form the Master Bubble in the fullness of time. I'm using "bubble" as a metaphor within this thought process. The little bubble knows its Master.
