Standard flavors

random thoughts :)

Cradled by the hills of the stretching vacuity,

This timid chaos has finally settled.

Is what I’m facing just some casual congruity -

That leaves me baffled and breathlessly nettled?

 

And what would the purpose of emptiness be,

If it is not to be satiated with tasteful thoughts?

Thoughts we keep feeding with aimless oat(h)s and hyperbole,

Wishing dearly for that apple….but all they got is apricots.

This statement is a little "all over the place" so I'm not sure how to interpret your poem. It seems as if the message might be: going thru a void is a bad thing . . . but to this I would have to disagree. Sometimes we need to leave a void alone until it's time for life to fill it up in its good time. But your poem is a realistic depiction of how most people do worry a void, or any space that feels like it needs to be filled up with something (((HUGS)))

I always leave the interpretation up to reader, because we all see things in a different light, and this poem is no exception ;) my message would be '' life and thoughts should be filled with meaningful things-important things, yet we keep chasing frivolous things, we worry ourselves over superficial things, meanwhile missing on something special...'' something like that, but that is just my thought on this :D Thank you for reading and I appreciate your take on this. Hugs!!!

Emptiness doesn't last forever. Things move on and times change. Your poem can be read on many levels Ana. Happy Sunday dear poet.

[Gee]

Read, inwardly digested, re-read and still clueless :)
I ain't the brightest button on life's shirt.
Hope you are well m'dear

[Gee]

All good thanks

I enjoyed this very stirring piece of poetry. It can have many meanings to many hearts. To me it speaks of emptiness within and trying to find a purpose or reason that can fill that vastness of a void. It really resonates with me. Thank you Ana for sharing your artful poem with us.
