the texture of intuition

 

 

 

 

 
This question stands as sentinel -
mother and father to all unladen memory.
 
Of these unknowns within

and around,

fear is tethered to the dark mind,

asking what the red
already knows, in the spaces of silence
shed between beats.
 
Of the promise of an unmarked

page, each possibility

aligns to an infinite, unchained

thought, 
lain mute by honesty,

for absent of doubt, nothing changes.
 

 

 
The remains of a query decay.

All ink fades,
turns this paper back to blank,

to before the maze delved
domains
made hollow by need.
 
To fill back to empty, cease enquiry -
it matters not
whether we are this maze
or simply within it.

    This reads so deep and honest. I am unsure of how to properly comment. Bravo.

    Thank you.

    Who I am lately - or pretending to be.
    This write provoked thoughts that I don't want to listen to at the moment. The power beneath your words and topic gave deep yet creative outlooks on everything in my mind that I hide behind in the covers of my blankets.
    & that is not saying I do not like it, but it's been so long since a piece has been willing to venture into my mind without permission. If that makes sense? I hope not, though.

  • I LOVE the title..and...

    will have to read through this one a few more times



  • Sometimes, it seems, doubt can offer hope, no?

    Some questions, or answers are not always entirely embraced, as that is to lose hope in some sense. At least that is what I take from this.

    Interesting writing, you are always good at the sort of detached from a distance analysis of self.

    I admire that

      Or ... more literally ... where doubt does not exist, there is nothing that needs to be hoped for

      Our doubts are the mystery that keeps life intriguing

      No?

      As to the embracing or lack, or questions or answers ... I think, it's more a matter of how some questions don't need asking and some answers don't need to be known. If that makes sense?
