Poem Artwork

This is my response to you,

The ardent seekers of truth

About the human spirit.

 

You have to realise one thing

That chasing it is to waste

Your inner energy and strength.

 

All men have something

Intangible within themselves,

Which is unspeakable and

Beyond all the scriptures.

 

When you call it

It responds you distinctly;

Still, it is hidden

In the realm of ambiguity.

 
This is the way it protects itself;

And I urge you to preserve it

By all means to prevent

Any slightest leakage! . .

 

See, I let it run its own way;

Flowing together with it,

I never rope it, my boat. Afloat,

I've still got my head above water.

we certainly are born with it to disclose its power through our lifetime in various circumstances. Cheers, alex

Yes, the human spirit...are we born with it or do we obtain it through our growth?

Always,
Deborah

How true. There is a mystery that will never be fully resolved in this world. I particularly like the final stanza which captures the problem perfectly. John

Thank you. If I see a spirit I will chase it. If I have a spirit, I will protect it.

I like your analogy of floating and keeping your head above water. Always a good idea when one breathes air and not water.

Ron
