A Look Inside (Michelle's Challenge)

Far in the center of me
where light knows no haven
I falter in epitome
and my platitudes are craven

My essence as a being
is tangled in the quest
Unblinking eye not seeing
the purpose for the test

The thoughts flow like stone
in rivers of perception
The captive motive shown
in mirrors of exception

Mindful and quite oblique
and compelled to offer such
Parcels of measured mystique
that puzzle overmuch

The head from when and where
these tributaries trace
Is riddled and threadbare
seeking out a place

A destination in remedy
as ever and all aloof
Be it somber or in levity
so long as it is truth

Michelle, your query posed
and motivation you seek
I fear I'm all red-nosed
I can't turn the other cheek

Very deep and well penned, Brian. It takes courage to look inside, and admit the truth of what lies there!

Brian,

I love this line: "Parcels of measured mystique
that puzzle overmuch" Nodding my head in relation to this, and
much of what you have written! Excellent response to the Challenge!
