The Clearing

by David Lester Young — Read all 1,103 poems by David Lester Young

I look ahead and see an impossible long journey to make The Clearing for my Poetry. I have always thought so many others are more capable, but what if a Poet could have that Clearing.

My insecurity, some many see a vanity, but the Truth is my trail be self made shallow shadows.

Horizontal and vertical forms below.

Poem Artwork

The Clearing

Haze of past time, had shifted, in and out, of current finite focus
Things near, become razor sharp, while horizon, be future clouded
Telescoping seer clarity clairvoyance, adrift time fogged presence
Microscopic pulse rates, make heard beats Bee Present – The Clearing.

Closed eyes brings insight, while open eyes, brought out, this “I” foresight
Perceptions have past foundations, within future making up preparations
That one looks ahead, but not too far, that it bears fuzzy logic anticipation
Terse word warrior writing rhyme’s UniVerse concise continuum contemplation.

Perfect cut jewel looking glass: Will seer temples, amid inner soul’s core clarity
Whilst Imperfections, be cast away; Dew steer universal stellar stanza challenges
Subliminal suggestions, sown within words, sprouting forth literary germination
Attuned profound pronunciation wordsmithing, in astute alliterated annunciation.

Thy Poet Tree - Iron grasps dye owned unique poetic purpose persona personification
Trail’s - WILL intertwines vivid wild vowels, amid dynamic deposition consonant characters
Thy poets plow, awaits fertile furrows tranquil quills, seeding lucid water color Poet Gardens
Where adrift the pages of ravenous rhyme the velvet croquets satin sheet petal pages -
Alight The Clearing

Fascinating poem. Each word carries energy and meaning, drawing me in to a perception of the inner perceiving what lies before it, clearing shadows, thoughts, and imprints toward clear-seeing. A very thoughtful poem, very intentional and purposeful.

Within I have read many of your time-honored word warping phrases and expressions. They have become part of your poetic persona. I hope this poem has cleared the way for more.

Subliminal indeed! Every time I get done reading your stuff I feel as if I've been in clouds and free from all things. You "BEE", key word, I believe and I hope there are lots of wildflowers in the "clearing"!

Love ya!

Jane
