I am always trying to understand myself through such poems. They can not be catagorised here in this steriotyped list.

A NEW MEANING......

Some strange and mysterious shadows
Are gathering all around
As if to prod me to germinate anew
From my own being's ground.

Suddenly I feel like a sapling
Dreaming the dream of flowers,
And invoking the distant clouds
For some nourishing showers.

Just then a stream starts to flow,
Murmuring a bubbly song in my core;
Its ripples spread out insistingly
To reach and caress my skin's shore.

I start to tremble all over,
Like a bud on the verge of blossoming,
My shadow peels off like a slough,
To let me shine with a new meaning.

-Portia Burton

Change is always the last thing and the first thing we want to do. And as they say, change is the only constant! Write on!

Wonderful allegory. I would only suggest: “My [shell] peels off like a slough,…"

Telepathy Will Change Your Life by D.E.Z. Butler

A way to use your mind for silent communication. Speaking about the methods in the book I have used since a young age. 21st Century learning. I also have a GoFundMe page to ask for funds so I can research with other people and add their experiences
