"Who You Are..."

a pause

Discovered you really do have opinions yet?  Had any seriously "deep" thoughts and perhaps have had and made some "profound" self-discoveries?

 

“Who You Are…”

 

Do you like dollar-ninety-five words 

and look out upon caerulean skies?

 

Mirrored, mirrored walls so high

Glistening, gleaming into the skies

‘til up above my head so sleek

their falling tears meander down my cheeks…

 

I thought and knew me most of all

 

Are you as PC as the wynds that

whisper so changingly,

delightedly deceit-full and 

memorabilia-less to each foot's passage

tween always was and ne're-to-be(s)?  

 

-  die healthy or eat food?  -

 

Know the difference or

KNOW the differences?

- know at all -

…know-it-all

 

Do you hear the music

…or listen? and to what?

Whom? - even yourself?

 

Whys can be

what could be

but when - now that's a question even

self-colored horses can't answer

 

…Oz always is tomorrow from where 

I fall asleep

and I stand - doing - in a yesterday 

that hasn't ever happened yet - go figure.

 

Know the artist,

see your self

or dream the life

or dream life

or dream of life…

perchance just to dream.

 

Have talk to walk?

Or is the low-crawl the best?

Questions even the military live by.

 

People to see and things to do -

places, places everywhere

but not a place to be…

and yet

 

…THIS…

IS

what my tomorrow was like

and how will yours be?

…ya think?

 

 

Who are you?

Insight into life,
do we pause enough?
Expectations outweigh the real almost every time.
Nice structure and layout with your words.

Perhaps most of us do not look as deeply into ourselves, our wants or needs as far as we should. I expect we all fall a little short of what we expected as a 21 year old. Valentine

Chris, this has me paused between tears and soulful aches...stole my breath and I can not voice it any more deeply than that...truly...

[RomaJ]

This is a visual masterpiece, a wander, a dream. Very compelling ,as its draws the reader in to your vision.
Self-colored horses...I will ponder that..:)

Beautifully written.

[Chris]

[Emily B]

love to you!

A great poem full of rich introspective questions. It did remind me a bit of Alice lost in her wonderland, not knowing who she was. More than once, we do find ourselves deprived of ingenious understandings of who we truly are and what we really want to do with 'us'.
