The Isle of Truth

.

Truth is delusion
the ocean did roar
undeviating its regal
splendour.

Today the sea was
in a good mood
rowing; a pleasure
we moored at the
fabled Isle of truth.

Truth quickly came to us
we gave our excuses and
swiftly rowed back to the shore.

Truth...hmmm, what is turth? Truth of the matter is most wouldn't know the truth if it came up and bit them on the **s.
Who will face the truth?
I think many run from the truth too.
Love your wit my friend!

I love the last stanza. Truth, I suppose, can be difficult to face; we make our excuses and rationalizations then row back to our delusions - our comfortable, confining delusions.

Hi Andy, strong currents of delusion should never deviate us from our course towards the "Isle of Truth". A powerful piece.

AHHH...THE PLACES THAT LYING SEA CAN CARRY YOU BUT...AT LEAST YOU TWO MADE IT BACK TO REALITY...SOMETIMES, SADLY...PEOPLE ARE BLINDED BY THE WAVES AND CURRENTS OF AN UNSUSPECTED 'STORM'....AND DROWN. WHAT A GREAT METAPHORE...DONE VERY WELL AND ENJOYED. THANKS FOR SHARING AND BLESSINGS. JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Why do we do that? How do we do that...?...and since when did the ocean have a voice? Too bad we fail to take the time to listen to ourselves as its speaking...we would find truth to be the momentum that will put our waves in motion...Ask the moon...

Inspiring pen,Andy... I shall bask in this Isle...

The ocean had heartburn!
Delusion aye?
An erroneous belief that
is held in the face of evidence
to the contrary?
Shall we gather at the river?
Piss on the ocean!
Thought-provoking
