Answers & Signs Revisited...

[Guest guest]

I hope it would be ok to "toy" with these words just a bit. Not to change them whatsoever, it's too good like it is...but my mind wonders into all the places I've found it goes...I am simply "envoking" the space between the words with my own experience of them.

The ReWork Edition / The Original Below It.

Answers and Signs

For tonight

just this one time, let the answers flow through,

Just let my hand write...

everything that would bring understanding,

That's all that I ask:

Just once, that's All I Want !

Sometimes I feel like a failure,

wondering if I'm getting any closer to the truth,

somehow, someway, I'm trying on, and

wearing a mask.

I think of these things when I'm in the shower

alone, and with my many thoughts -

reading my posted list of daily affirmations...

looking for the changes, I've been told would come.

What is This I'm Becoming, I question my very soul -

This world around me has gone cold.

And I feel the need, the draw, to find the heat for it's warming.

Experience itself has brought more questions...

As if I were sub-dividing the Whole.

Each piece and part I've been reviewing -

How will I feel when I get old?

Where's my future self Now?

What will I have seen?

Wouldn't my future self step back and tell ?

Who will I have known?

And what did I learn from each of them ?

I look at grandparents for advice -

and ask -"What were the questions YOU asked",

We would expect that they have grown -

their questioning bringing closer to the light,

with all the years they've lived perhaps their years have shown

the clues, the possibilities, something giving

them a meaningful life -

something very special,

equipping their minds with gifts gived

- the experience of what "it's" like;

a crown, and a throne.

The only price is deterioration

of what they thought they were in the experience

of body and mind.

A gain of questions, confusion -

What are the answers, we plead,

Maybe they've stopped the search for answers,

but maybe I've stopped searching too for

something thats not there to find.

I'm looking at this all wrong.

What other way can I look at it ?

Answers aren't found by routine affirmations,

or from scribes and

prophets and geniuses who tell and say.

It's made of faith and love

and found in the vibrational response

and all that is right.

Someone must be guiding from above.

"I Know - I Know......"Within";

with urges and kisses,

- showing me the answers right there...

and daily I really am aware

of my own future self - the higher one giving -

that the answers are in the signs

and I become aware that these signs,

that are placed with extreme care,

carefully measured ANSWERS placed

in a parallel reality -

for safe keeping and my awareness,

lying in the veil like drawn lines...

....so these answers I seek from the outside

all come from "my present reality" - but then

I will never then be content.

We decide on what reality...

We all have our own to taste.

I'm beginning to taste a bit of heaven,

So I will listen to the voices

of my higher self within,

and enjoy the kisses

from my souls very essence, I am;

while experiencing the signs sent

as the answers from the one true source,

knowing that it's all okay.

I can choose,

I don't always have to struggle and fight

re-experiencing old questions ask out there

for answer after answer,

of the questions with no power to go,

experience after experience

redoing and doing all over,

to make it all right.

The grandparents understand

the thinking of the outer way,

that in this world,

this reality of theirs,

all things eventually come to an end.

So bring on the signs

and cast them all about -

Come on, as many as you can send

I will read them - now comprehending -

It's a solid faith

of the flowing from within,

that becomes a friend -

finding myself that was hiding

in the dark of this place,

came the new reality of being, that which did not want to be,

where pain sometimes feels good,

where we learned to ignore,

if you endure enough of it

we wanted absolutely, No More.

It most rightfully should...

become our new reality...

Well what then do we teach our children?

The new way your thinking is clear...

What do we express to our peers?

That we don't have to seek out "elders".

I'll teach them that to find their answers,

they need only look deep within, eliminating the darkness,

they need to face their fears.

All are unique

and asking all their questions -

All walk their path of darkness and grace.

We hear the calling bubble up from within,

It's up to us to listen,

to pay attention,

to lift up our face,

and see our future selves are us, full of love,

and be the answers we seek.

My love to you all! And may you all be blessed with answers and signs.

I always like to read your reworking edits . You have a very analytical mind, and can shed light in dark places because of it. Plus it's eyeopening to me to see how you interpreted the poem. I think every writer appreciates an outside perspective. I'm sure that you do as well.
