dwells

perhaps it's the empath in me, or the recent eclipse, or something else...i'm feeling an emotional weight, thick like molasses...several of my friends are feeling it too...and a cat that can't seem to relax, he is pacing and yowling at the ceiling and walls...

where dwells my lofty spirit

as I hold the stillness of a rock?

 

have you ever felt the heaviness

pressing into/upon this dimension?

 

thick in “I don’t know”

are glimpses of optical awareness

the illusion bends and holograms hover

just out of reach

 

I feel dizzy sensations anchored to

physical depths yet floating beyond myself

 

tending my gardens, painting summer colors

to enhance my smiles surrendering to a voice

that is never heard

 

I feel my eyes weep

thinned by “I don’t know”

as my heart aches emotions

that have no reference

 

was I carrying the frequency

of clear something so fractural

it penetrated cellular structure?

 

or am I only stuck at this wall

bristling at the negativity of reality

in these moments I don’t care WHAT IS

I’d rather experience creation and

the imagination of what could be

 

~~sniffling~~ could you hand me a tissue, please?

 

and a light beam to melt this wall….yes, thank you so much

 

~~

Whoa ... the image floored me ... nice Deb! And your sense of humor is appreciated in those last lines. Being so wonderfully and fearfully made (as it says in the Bible) we sure do have our limitations. Stay open ... you just never know what's going to bump into you.
Blessings ...

I felt it too to use a trite expression like the caklm before the storm...the air still and heavy laden with the weight of humidity that will soon erupt...jowever, I seem to have found my antidote while away in the mountains and beaches in mendocino...No computer for six days revived me;-)Among other things...Superb poem...Rouse your enlightenment Debby...

Love,
Eileen

Can so relate to your thoughts and expression here, Debby. My soul is pricked by similar sensations of inexplicable tears as you here describe. Love the weight and balance to this write and especially as articulated in your first and concluding thoughts. Yes, our unknowing can cause us more love-lorn-ness than that which we already know of beauty, truth and spirit/soul fulfillment. Compelling writing here. Thank you. Kate xx

I don't (and didn't) know about the eclipse. Where you live it's the dry season; here it's the rain and dreary afternoons. (Mornings are fine) But with me it's also isolation; yet we all go through these darknesses and then I've found that suddenly when we can get that MIND energy moving again into and beyond our body; it suddenly lifts. We usually make a leap forward again.
Your poetry recently helped me do that (I was reading your book again) But it's a never-ending battle with duality it seems...
May WE win by persistence..
Love to you, michael

Debby, like in solitude talking to an angel trying to understand yourself the questions and the answers and then, peace will wash your eyes with a tear or two...so it is all well.

and in your words I know that "Dwells" is an undeniable force of emotion reaching to be acknowledged...this is very beautiful how you portay the wall of these things that many do not experience, or even believe...feelings the presence of awareness...I am a believer of emotions reaching far greater distances than logic will ever accept
It is my very honored pleasure to meet you today!
