silent being

silent being

in the silence, lay I
  quietly absorbed
sorrowfully dormant
  cruelly unknown

in the sun, lay I
  discorded within
battling with will
  over one true goal

choices to make
  honor and dignity
or fear and vanity
  hatred and violence

in this temple, lay I
  seeking sanctuary
finding obstacles
  blocking the way

in this darkness, lay I
  eyes opened wide
blindly seeing
  a spark of light

in the dawn, lay I
  welcoming another day
anticipating happiness
  finding suffering

in the twilight, lay I
  wearied wisely
weathered and worn
  innocently enlightened

I really like the ending - wearied wisely, weathered and worn, but innocently enlightened. Carry On, my friend.

This is soul-searching and introspective. The points of introspection, the various points to ponder, brood over self, and self-correct, reflect, and grow. Our world begins within ourselves, and how we approach, observe, feel, and then reflect. That way an endless recursive process. It is not often that the effect of recursion affect everybody in the same way, but as a personal experience it is the way we evolve and grow.

and in the quietude of silence....we can find "silent being" whispering many emotive thoughts-in the darkest moments clarity can shine through...

AHHH...BUT THERE IS ONE THAT HEARS, AND SEES, AND KNOWS...EVERY SILENT SCREAM. I LOVED THIS WRITE WITH PHRASES AND IMAGERY THAT TOUCHES AND PROVOKES. THANKS FOR SHARING AND BLESSINGS.

I can feel this deeply, Dale. Yours is not a naturally sorrowing spirit, I don't think; so this reflective, melancholy state conjurs a dark, cell-like space within which you are seeking a chink of light to lighten your onward path and a safe place in order to sort the wheat from the chaff in your heart and mind. The search for inner truth and integrity can be harsh and self-flagellating at times, but never without its bountiful rewards as we stive toward inner peace and harmony. Strikes a chord with me, that's for sure! :)) xx

We are on the same metaphysical plane today, Dale, but I have other mysteries to solve and you are content to ride within your calm and serene twilight. Nicely done as always, hope all is well in your Universe.
Peace, love, and light,
