You know...
I sit back a lot
wondering what it is you want.
Why is it I hear you fussing about this
and fighting about that,
scared before imminent death
but arguing how its okay to hate
sometimes
as if time was meant for this punishment.
What is it you want
out there
anyway
in this world
so much that it brings the fight
even here
to a single point
where you can fight again
or not.
Another chance for peace
gone by?
A no god kind of thought
came to me once
inquiring about what I want.
In my name
I must say
I already have it.
Peace, brothers...
and sisters...
and, um...
well, that about covers it.
Author notes
I have given thought to my screen name recently, thinking about different connotations or meanings it could have. This is one that came to me...
Please tell me what you think

Powerful beginning, but.....
as if you lost your train of thought, it became ambiguous, doubting?
A no GOD- kind of thought
came to me
once inquiring (stronger more on beat)
What I want.
In my name
I must say
I already have it.
Peace, brothers...
and sisters...
and, um...
well, that about covers it.(This was playful but unnecesary

I think your screen name is wonderful...this poem says a lot about you and your longings. The last two lines surmise the way I feel at this point as well.

Relax my friend.
In the end it is often best to settle for what-you-want and not try to fathom what-we-want. In doing so you will probably succeed at both!!

Oh, I'm sure you're right, Jim. I wrote this in response to some arguments out in the forums here at AP, and posted it there first as kind of rambling thought. But then I thought about it and decided to post it as a poem too. But I'm not worred about all the fussing and fighting! lol
Thanks, as always.

I've read this over and over and had one reoccurring thought. We are already what we seek.
Profound work friend!

"All that I need I already have" is one of the workbook lessons in A Course In Miracles too, Marianne!
Thank you.

I think the reason sooo may people like the "fight" external is because they are in the same calamity on the inside. We should all strive for inner peace and love my brother, and allow THESE energies to ooze from our pours. Perhaps a world of "whatuwants" is whatweneed because we already have it, but just dont see it under the layers of goop.
Ya got me tinkin again thar Douglas

We dream.
When we look for the 'I'
We awaken."

Hi Rahad,
Thanks for the heads up on Maa's contest. I think I got there too late, however. Perhaps next time.
Hope all is well with you.

This is a huge pulling up on the reigns in verse! It sounds like the inner spirit confronting the soul in wishing to know how it can please and give joyful placation in doing so. In simply asking an open ended question honestly. You dear poet,are your name sake in all I read from your poetic spirit. Yet only the self can answer your quary as to the current satisfaction in your choosen name.Personally,I feel it perfectly describes you.Love the honesty in verse.

Thanks, suseann. I wrote this in response to some "fussing and fighting" out in the forums, specifically in the pub, and then thought I'd post it here as a poem too. Someone out there had kind of inquired about my screen name, watuwant, which got me to thinking about it all. This is what came out.
Thanks...

deep thought flows through youre write
I like your clever ending
very well written
but sadly it is not a rhyme
I did enjoy reading it, thank you
God bless my friend...

You know, for some reason the rhyme part didn't register with me. My apologies for seeming to ignore this rule. It was not by intent, but merely my own brain fart. lol
Thanks for the nice comment.
peace
