It's Clear Ahead

a conversation

ME: 'It's clear ahead, follow me'
HE: 'How can you tell, what can you see?'

ME: 'It is not in what the eyes can see,
It starts by making friends with clarity'

HE: 'Clarity you say, I am confused
It's clear you said, that was your news.'

ME: 'Calm your thoughts, clear your mind,
Let's start here, leave all behind.'

HE: 'Calm and clear my mind you say
How will that help us on our way?'

'Leave all that is, what's the use?
What we leave we may need anew.'

ME: 'What lay ahead, we need for naught,
What lay ahead we have always sought.'

'The endless search, is already here,
It's just ahead, where it is clear.'

HE: 'You speech is nonsense, you've lost your mind?
There's nothing there, what do you hope to find?'

ME: 'No need to hope to find a thing,
Nothing is needed and I've nothing to bring.'

HE: 'You riddled words make no sense to me,
I cannot follow, for it's nothing I see.'

ME: 'Correct it is nothing and oh what a sight,
To finally see the beauty, to let go of the fight.'

HE: 'I believe your thoughts have turned you mad,
Clarity something you never had.'

'I will not follow, this journey is yours,
I bid you farewell and the best for your cause.'

ME: 'Right my friend, my time's arrived,
For this is the point for where I've always strived.'

'In the asking of questions, of myself and surrounds,
The continual struggle to find new unknown grounds.'

'To understand me, the where, how and why,
To know what will happen when one is to die.'

'It is clear ahead, but follow me not,
This life's knowledge gained I have simply begot'

'Within the essence of knowing and dreaming to dare
It's clear ahead, you can find me there.'

yes .. Buddha for sure :) there are a very few editing needs .. you had me going right off .. it reminded me of a one act play i saw .. a couple (very primitive) happily dancing along the jungle path .. they would come upon one situation after another and in coping they would carry things in case they needed them again in the same situation.. needless to say they became overburdened and very unhappy .. needing to "let go" and trust ..
then you went all spiritual .. and rightfully so .. thats where it all goes right!? i love your beautiful mind

editing ... do tell ... I am not the best with that sort of thing ... always happy to learn x x

[Einstein Noodle]

" 'You speech is nonsense ..." and " 'You riddled words make no sense to me," do you mean your instead?? :) we all make these kinds of misprints in our haste and fervor .. but perhaps you meant it the way it is?? .. love your poem! it is wise and sound advice

[KWP]

Ha! No you are correct my friend ... Thank you xxx

[Eve Ola]

A very tough way to write in dialogue form. but you did so well and very clear. I love it

[Frieda P]

I think perhaps your middle name is Buddha Betty, has a ring to it too. :) Like the conversation going on in your poetry, your voice sings loud and clear as a crystal bell! Go you.... ;) x

[KWP]

Ding ding ... Can't get that damn crystal bell to stop ringing in my head ... Thanks gorgeous you ... You make me smile you know that .... Xx

[Frieda P]

Perhaps you should stop drinking tea with visions with that old bearded fellow, that could be the cause of that ringing. :) xox muah!

A very very good write my friend, I'm so glad that 'She' stuck to her guns. Sometimes the not so open minded around us can stifle a free carefree curious spirit seeking knowledge and truth.

Ignorance is not bliss, it's comfortable.
Nicely done babe. :-)

[KWP]

Oooooh yes I like that ignorance is not bliss, it is comfortable ... I needed to hear that ...

Thanks sexy one ... Love love love xx

[Matching Socks]

Haha! Anytime beautiful!

What a lovely dialogue this one. Not only is it fresh and lively it is also full of interesting questions that keep you guessing throught. I find it of great value when the yearning requires imagination and intuition as this is obviously full of inspiration becuase then recepies for answer tend to become obsolete. And the part that reminds us not ask not to focus possessively and that it is not about and answer given and voila. But a descriptive process that requires a certain frame of mind. Not only does this writing read full of enthusiasms it is also loaded with great intentions.

Thankyou

[KWP]

ahhaha yeah what you said about frame of mind ... how true is that ... if only we could get there with a click of the fingers !!! Thank you so much for your lovely thoughts ... they give me reason to think myself ... thank you x x x

KWP you are master of words and creating a world of your own imagination, I was again like watching a play where two people are having a pleasantries......one of your best work.

[KWP]

thanks I was thinking of a metaphor for an optimist and a pessimist - this is what i got - sounds very Dr Suess like which was not my intention but nonetheless that's what evolved .. thanks for reading x x

[A. Amos]

I think what you done above is simply amazing, nothing could have made it much better the way it read now.. you're most welcome...

[RichGee]

Wow KWP! This is amazing...I have never read this style...a conversation turned to poetry...
Brilliant! And reads so smoothly....great work.

[KWP]

Thanks Rich ... I just re-read it myself and can see it needs work ... but then so does everything right ... thank you for taking the time to read ... I appreciate it x x x
