The Mind's Truth

To every Dark part of our lives, there is a truth to its existence. 2 of 2

As a lake cannot be 

Without find sand, 

To finger its waves through, 

And give sustenance to its life, 

You are meaningful. 

As a cloud cannot be, 

Without rain 

Keeping its form, 

Wetting the dry land, 

You are beautiful.

As the abyss cannot be 

Without its pioneer

To lead it away, 

From straying hearts,

You are not without a purpose.

Fantastic imagery. Wonderful how you compare our purpose with nature's purpose - very creative. You did a great job with this. I enjoyed it.

[Coyote Poetry]

I liked the logic of the words. You are correct. We need reason and purpose to know a worthwhile life. I liked the examples used in the poetry. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

The Mind's Darkness, is the prequel to this, if you haven't read it, it's a description of both sides of the mind.

I like the way you used nature to reflect the value of life.

[Lauren]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
By the way, The Mind's Darkness is the prequel to this poem, if you haven't read it yet :)

[Ian Craven]

Neat! 😊 I never wrote a prequel for a poem.

[Asante]

This was beautiful. :) A unique way to tell the tale of someone holding importance to you. Great work!

[Lauren]

Thank you for your kind word!

By the way, if you haven't read it yet, "The Minds Darkness" is the prequel to this poem :)

[Asante]

I haven't! I'll check that one out in the morning for you. :)

Three beautiful and elegant statements, so simple in their saying, yet what they say is everything and all, our entirety of existence and having the ability to see our part in the cosmos, without ever being able to illuminate more than a fragment at a time. We spend our time, connecting and associating with others, yet our inner yearnings never diminish, as we constantly try to unlock the doors of our perception and being. Love this piece. Just because we don't know the basics, doesn't mean we should ever stop questioning.

[Lauren]

Thank you! It's true, we spend so much time trying to learn about ourselves and the world, but when we do, it all comes at the price of something being lost to our knowledge. And no, we should never stop questioning, because when we do, we learn to forget what needs to be seen and heard.

i certainly like the depth of your poetry. we're all here living or surviving in 'tis world but for what?? -- for finding the purpose of life. some have already found it. some... craving to find it. but whatever it's all 'bout, we're all being lost in one's mind & incessantly longing for the truth of life that's hardly found, perhaps, ur poetry makes much sense... esp. the way you've penned it around. nice imagery!

[Lauren]

Thank you, you really got out what I was trying to write! Life is filled with so many things, but ultimately, all of them lead to a purpose or the finding of purpose.

[Adam Adams]

you've your own vividness of thoughts that further makes you confirm it to the world. either u might be experienced with all of these love lives or already being soaked into it, the truth is, you paint a very captivating imagery here around in very highly highlighted words that i quite enjoy reading.

looking forward to reading you!
