Essential is it to unite
to pressing questions answers which
may open roads to knowledge, might
prepare fulfillment shared and rich.
Unused to being understood,
his insight into others bores,
the trees he sees, ignores not wood
nor would - for blinkers he abhors.
A sense of purpose has withstood
positions frozen, - chosen doors
open on mission, inner good
opposing pride and rotten cores.
Deceptive calm. His tenets try
to understand and to translate,
so all unite, so none fight shy
of fighting prejudice and hate.
Against the 'current', with the stream
of light and life he'd soar serene,
is it surprising that the gleam
remains unshared
In a list

understanding demands much explanation
acceptance loves , no hesitation
ie; one needn't understand why gold gleams to appreciate it's glow

Against the current he may appear
When seeing trees within the wood
But not only trees, one by one, he sees
For in (in)sight ' is nothing he loses.
A translator, or may I say an enchantor
As all the waves he catches and shows -
A great purpose we should hear close...

Above the plane of normal sight-such eloquent expression! -
Fascinating piece . . . I'm struck by the loneliness of the individual, his wanting so to be recognized and understood, and yet uncomfortable with the prospect. The ending of the poem appears purposefully unfinished, and to my eyes unscores the loneliness. Hmmm, I have other thoughts, but you'll receive them off the record.

Great subject, don't all of us writers want to believe we are swimming against the current? I love the analogy to the current. Your rythm and rhyming are brilliant, it flows very well. You've got a great write here, well done =D

Yes, The poet. Against the current of the norm...the flow through the world with s stunning sheen reflecting to us what remains unseen.
Magnificent!
