Sage Visitations

I’m starting to think poets are bleeding ink
Longing for true understanding, an oath on the stand
Mentally sinking in quicksand, trials never finish
Fear of diminishing quicker than our escape plan

Seeking wisdom in time for our demise,
and as we’re writing our words, our fears are in disguise 
Intricate word-weaving, we’re prisoners of the moment,
spilling ink on the paper and anxious for our atonement

The dream of a dreamer’s quick to take him places
A limbo of the unknown, and filled with many faces
Endless deliberation with the jury of the mind
Furious and made in a hurry, truly “one of a kind”

But truthfully one of many, and so it’s up to you
Live an Epicurus life, happiness is a truth
Patient examination of nature is natural
A masterful snap of the mental camera is factual

The sage’s knowledge of reason is unilateral
Theory of forms and as Plato had put it 
It’s reason you see before you that offers spatial relationships
Properties seeming apparent – hope you relate to this 

Believe nothing you hear and half of what you see
Our fears are found in the lines written by you and me 
So keep the words coming, never stop pursuing wisdom 
Enlightenment of the soul towards a new beginning.

  1. You found the right words to describe what every poet experience. Yes, ink is our blood, and when we write we sure bleed and give a piece of us. We are universal donors and help ourselves while helping others. You help me with your words, thanks for that. By the way, this is some master craftery if I may say so.

    • I humbly thank you, my friend. It’s great to be getting such positive reactions to this piece. Yes, we bleed ink. Best to come right out and say it 🙂 I’m certainly glad that it’s helped you in what little way it did. Thank you again, Kadda.

  2. Beautifully woven together is this piece. Never disappointing. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

    • Jarid you humble me with your words, brother. Thanks from the bottom of my heart!

    • It’s always about keepin’ it 100 🙂 Thanks for checking this piece out, man!
