Walking Naked In The Moonlight

The time for inner peace is now.


Poem Artwork

Walking naked in the moonlight,
Hard to hide one’s feelings.
Striped bare of facades,
Naked to man and God.

Where now is your bravado?
Looking around for that machismo?

You pause and stare at the moon,
Now, you can see your iniquities,
You face the pain and anguish that lurkes,
Just beneath the surface.

Now is the time for purging,
Your own spirit begs of you for relief.
To put an end to all it’s grief.

May peace find you on your journey.

Terrific write, once again dear Walt..tis hard to face our own selves...even harder to realize what we really are...but there's a robe we can wear, hides that nakedness...

Don't walk naked in the moonlight, do it wearing the protective coat of a truly friendship.

The inner soul of ones heart is naked and fragile, only a few will ever truly understand or care. An honor to read, Love Holly

The inner pain that just eats away at us until there is nothing left and yet we each find ways to continue forward. Through him, in him and with him we learn to deal with all the frailties and face our truths head on...

Be always safe,
Karen

No man can hide from God. All of mankind walks naked before Him. Our attire merely hides our bodies from the rest of mankind. Our souls are always bare. What we openly admit, is not. In God's eyes we are always, "Stripped bare of facades". Being honest to one's self, is very difficult at times. "You face the pain and anguish that lurks". An introspective evaluation each of us must make, Walt. Thanks for sharing, and baring the emotion. JMW

When we expose what's within us as we do when we are naked and then come to terms with our problems we can then start to find solutions to what is ailing us mentally.

A deeply said and written write. Must cleanse my mind daily of all it's disturbing thoughts and go ahead with a new mind to start the day and a new mind for the night. Does not always stay clean though, I have plenty to work on during the days.

A profound write my friend...I recall hearing a message once about spring cleaning...this elderly minister spoke about how we all must do a little spring cleaning from time to time. He spoke about the refrigerator and how if we leave a dish of food or fruit too long it will begin to mold and spoil...just as if we leave things on the inside and don't allow them to leave and let go...they too will begin to mold and spoil. A beautiful write my friend, nothing quite like letting go of pain and hurt after harboring it for a long time, it renews the spirit and gives a new sense of being to all that we see! I think we've all been there and done that at one time or another, and if not we will as this is part of life. Enjoyed, have a wonderful day my friend!
Blessings from KY.
