The Trail of Discovery
View the path
All straight and crooked
A hidden energy seemingly pulling
At a speed just barely visible
Yet vast within the array
Discover the air about
Fluidly as it all blends
Against a soothing surface
Find the tangle of small willows
With leaning reflections
And there too the stones
Ahead on the bank
Slight movements
Gently mirror the way
With colors of vastness
All within an array
Fulfillment flourishes
Within the the glides of green
Where water meets air
Within the climate of the calm
See the swallows
Skimming along the water's surface
Twisting their narrow wings as they rise
Without a thought nor surprise
Encompassed with robust depths
From within and beyond
Within the find of oneness
All encompassed without reprise
For there lays the foundation
Within the trail of discovery
All encompassed
These Souls of Splendor

ReplyDeleteBeautiful poetry Jack. Would love to read more of your poems sometime. You're a man of many talents I am finding out.
ReplyDeleteThere are an array of all good folk Dee and that is the composition of the shares are that of worth.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has there own merits - mine probably is that I it's a creative outlet - combined with the
merit of honesty. Not so virtual is what I am getting at.
of course not. Jack ... if you have time, please review your past posting and you will read it there. Anyways I posted it awhile ago to my own blog, I have the copies of all my poems including that one. tight hugs
ReplyDeleteYAY....all straight and crooked. All encompassed. I enjoy poetry...and my fave of late is, "the peace of wild things..." I've been feeling the bite to write a poem. The type of poetry animal I am has to be moved by the truth feelings tell...share and show. I wonder if true poets bleed like this in every poem? They must. We must....
ReplyDeleteMost of my "poems" are from a lyrical base. Poets don't all bleed yet there is more of an expression within
ReplyDeletethe context.
I recall reading this one when requested as there what an emphasis within
ReplyDeletevocals to the words.
