Hi Jude, admitting we don't know keeps us seeking I think. Thank you for sharing this insightful write as I am seeking contentment in my orbit as well. Peace, blessings and gratitude. <Mikii>

I often wonder if you write from personal experience or if you are able to 'get into character' and write from varying perspectives. Whatever it is, you offer wisdom and insight that always inspires me.

Seems like someone had a bit of a PMS day. Best for the man to stay in own orbit until the meteor shower passes :-0

"I admit
I simply don’t know"
WELL DONE Jude! The most honest thing a philosopher/seeker/human can say is "I don't know". Allows room, then, for infinite knowing.
Love, Suzie :-D

Deep offering Jude!!

Love Tinka

Very deep and thoughtful
wonderful imagery
thanks for sharing this gem
love nad peace

Trust your inner landscape. The only solid ground that exists. Fine work, Jude...

Lin

Evokes kind of a die as in singular as opposed to dice plural, thrown by the hand in space, the numbers visible to the celestial prophet, but not to the non-believer of the cosmic blueprint.

Sage

A very empathic poem for the unknown and far away victims for the forces of nature.

Janet

This Even Better Z Best...

TRASK

Your mind occupied an orbit most of us would die to comphrehend.

Ron

Fine write Robert!
"To reap what declines to be sown" ???
WOW!
What a gestalt paradox this line is.
Richard

Insightful paradoxical write Jude, excellent!

Paul;-)

Excellent piece! Like it a lot.

Exceptional write, as usual, Jude. I also like what Sherry said about staying away from the magicians and wizards.

I think there is a lot of wisdom in what you express here, Jude. Thought-inciting, that is for certain. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

Regis

An interesting way of saying goodbye to someone :-) Stay your course, obviously something else is in store for you :-)

is somebody hurling meteors in your direction, trying to knock you off course? stay the course. you're surely always evolving. enjoy the tone you used in this - gave me the feeling of the teeniest bit of a rail against inexplicable forces and resolved it nicely in the last four lines. Dawn

A wonderful celestial write! Loved this!

I like what Sherry Heim said, "Beware the Magicians and the Wizards, for they are most skilled in deception and charm."
GREAT write!
Going back to my fortress, and adding more gators to my mote.

Truthfully, we are all intended to be seeking our own way and not simply following others but alas, there seem to be leaders and followers and lately many more of the latter. It seems that the world is in a tailspin and if we don't forge our own way, we will be taken down by that momentum, caught up in the human backslide that seems to be occurring all around us. Beware the Magicians and the Wizards, for they are most skilled in deception and charm. Very perceptive write, Jude, may the light guide your path.
Take care,
Sherry

WOMEN! Don'tya just gotta luv us?! No wonder all things wind and combustion-powered are named as female. Yep, unseen chasms and unseen charms are fated to disrupt any settled and quietly-mindin-its-own-business male territory when Mariah drops by... She is, perhaps, a travesty of Mary, but surely all guys know that there is nothing more certain to bring out the overbearing maternal (!!) than a helpless guy who is out of reach?! Yes, the sun has got its silly hat on over the West Country for the first time in eoans and is beggin me come out and play... unlike Turner. I like this socratic and metaphysical conundrum and the humility displayed in aligning yourself with the rest of us who have no answers to the whys and wherefores of the reasoning of others. This has a very Casablanca feel, cept you would be walkin out the door in this instance as Doodaa is comin in... Don't forget to pack the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy in your intergalactic saddle bags... at least it will give you a laugh. And you and Marvin The Paranoid Android could have a good male chin-wag along the way...

OK this Free Radical's outa here... K xx

We can be merrily moving along in our own orbit, then suddenly bang. A collision.

"And to what purpose?

To reap what declines to be sown? "



Yep, sometimes it's best to give up and go your own way and that goes for both parties. If this is about male/female relationships, then I have to say you're very male here. Men tend to turn off the love spigot first in genuine relationships, and when they do, the female will not get a drop no even if she's dying of thirst. Truly romantic love is ephemeral illusion no matter how much we poets claim otherwise. In fact, poets are known for becoming easily infatuated and thus break many hearts. Yeah, I'm in a mood this evening. I hope nobody suicidal calls me for help. LOL. Enjoyed the write, Jude. ~~Nordette

A deeply insightful, wisely metaphysical, and profoundly enjoyable write.

It's a compass in a vortex...the maze of torrential anger and nature still remains a power play to man.
Excellent pen...excellent!
Susan

Took us on an orbit within the bad boys of nature, plus giving us a break with the more placid among them, i.e., "The peace and tranquility of mountains and beaches" and thank you for not presuming to know what the hell it's all about. Good stuff.

A meteor in search of a target brought this poem to life!...

LOL
This reminds me of that song

You Got Your Troubles I Got Mine

but with a cosmic twist!
Love it.........
Is this male hormonal poetry?
Not offensive in nature but intelligently defense?
Either way

I like it.
pax A

sometimes that is our best course of action, for when the world turns crazy there is always that place inside the mind that opens it's doors and allows for a brief withdrawal, Great poem Jude.

felix

well done!!

God your so brilliant..Your telepathic sence is so real and the imagery is awesome, Jude..

There ain't much wrong with being a satellite in your own orbit...
Has a lot going for it...:)
