We talk about life, love, light. Do we really know what we are talking about?
Which Way to Go
The first time we opened our eyes
We were blinded by the sun’s rays
We did not know what we wanted
But we took everything for granted
No one knew that this light is temporary
We couldn’t ask anyone contemporary
As no one could tell us or be our guide
Essential questions remain on the side.
We take life as we see it, without explanation
Everyone left alone to act upon his inclination
Many people are pretending to know more
Showing others the “way to heaven’s door”
Who would know? Even smart ones pretend too
Let them believe that they know a thing or two
The truth is, there are questions we do not ask
We eat and sleep and try to do our daily task.
Many think about what happens after this life
But no one asks any question, even to his wife
As long as there is food, pleasure, and so-called gain
The sun is still here to give us strength and lift our pain
Man’s choice is to ignore himself and listen to the dark
Or, deep inside, stay calm until he finds his own spark
Only then can he decide which way to go, alone
Listen to his fears or follow the light of his own
THE BIBLE TELLS ME THAT 'JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIGHT...NO MAN COMETH TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM'. I WILL FOLLOW CHRIST BY OBEYING HIS WORD WHICH ALSO SAYS, 'TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL OUR HEARTS AND LEAN NOT TO OUR OWN UNDERSTANDING...IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE WILL DIRECT OUR PATHS'. WHICH WAY TO GO? I DON'T KNOW, BUT GOD KNOWS...AND I WILL FOLLOW HIM. WELL DONE, EMILE AND ENJOYED. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS & FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
You raise many questions and thoughts throughout this poem. I for one, feel that I do understand the concept of lightness and darkness in the spiritual realm.
It is very difficult to explain what one knows without sounding pretty strange or outlandish. Emile, we speak the same language and I love that I really don't have to explain what I am thinking to you, you just get it, and that is the beauty of understanding the lightness of being.
Thank you for your wonderful poem it speaks volumes to me.

I appreciate the perspective and the insight that you share via your verses here, Emile. Thank you. Love and peace to you,
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
