The Inkwell Poetry challenge: Awakening
Contemplating, lamenting, ruminating,
No-thing, no-one seem real anymore.
The mundane glorified by nervous souls,
Too much in the world - wanting to fit in - sameness.
Frustration, confusion, disruption,
Inner turmoil - summons an unveiling.
It arrives - revealing, earth shattering, staggering,
All familiars crumble, old paradigms erode - disintegrate.
Upheaval, dissonance, chaos,
Beliefs challenged - evaporate.
Why? when? where? what? - a whirlwind of questions - emotions.
Pushed, pulled, cajoled from disbelief and disillusionment to rebirth.
Enthralling, life-changing, liberating,
Broken but now broken through.
The familiars look new, transformed.
Masks and facades fall as illusion and deceit disappear.
Uniquely, unashamedly, nakedly
Standing there - observing without involvement - truth appears.
Grace and love overtake - knowledge becomes knowing.
There’s peaceful surrendering and awakening.

I applaud your poetic sense and expression in this piece - despite life is all about ups and down - we can always find that light at the end of the tunnel. Well done. Good luck in the contest and I hope you win.

The musical tunes of learning with all its hills and valleys

❤️❤️❤️ loved the post
I hope to read more of your posts
Aww many thanks.
In all my years of writing I've never seen anything so clean and precise. This is beyond beautiful. Had to pay attention to the structured used. Never seen anything like it. Everything about this is intriguing. Absolutely love it. Wow. Cheers!
Wow - I truly appreciate your feedback. I am at a loss for words.😀 Thanks so much for your encouragement.
I try my hands at poetry sometimes (along with cooking etc. 🤣) The poem, either gushes out or not. I am happy that you loved it and took time out to share your thoughts hence motivating me - much appreciated!
Please keep writing, you have a talented for it. Well done once again. Cheers 🍷
When I see great writing I know it - here is one. Cheers!
Oh wow - thank you @gandhibaba. I write when it comes or it doesn’t. 😀
Too much wanting to fit it... it is a disease and makes us sick.
Knowledge becomes knowing.... I like that... as we embody it.
@artemislives yes indeed - better to just be ourselves. Yes when we embody it - we just know and we are then free and awake.
Happy you read to the end.😀
As always you tap in to the energy we all feel pulsing through the land and in each other. Very fluid and simple, yet profoundly honest. "May grace and love overtake us" as we surrender and awaken to truth and then know
peace.
hmm deep words and i can relate it to what is happening in the world...
Thank you. It is a timeless poem then - I wrote this 2 years ago.
That is probably the best poem I have read on the Hive. Great job and thanks for sharing.
Many thanks @rcaine. I really appreciate your comment. I like writing poems but it cannot be forced. I hope you will enjoy the others which I will share.
Interestingly- now that I read it 2 years later I find a grammatical error.
