Journeying To Truth

Adrift upon that sea of thoughts and things
I plied the ways of names, of right and wrong,
a trembling cork so tossed on troubled waves
of stormy fears, the hurricanes of want,
until I slipped beneath the struggling surge
to find the denizens of hope and faith
whose still sweet songs spoke lovingly of peace
and showed the Way into the Heart of...

    Your first five lines describe the turmoil that we have learned to accept as normal. How refreshing, that the last three point to an alternative beyond our current understanding. Well done, congratulations!

    a pure poetic and spiritual treasure ...
    the metaphors you use in order to describe your (and our all) spiritual journey, are breathtaking ... this is the verse of a mystic who intoxicated by the nectar of bliss ...
    the final line ends in such an appropriate manner, honoring the nameless name of "..."

    a masterpiece,
    maa

      Thank you for yet another sweet honor and the chance to share my journey home. I have a long way to go in truly hearing the silent, nameless Name but the joy of each step is a fulfillment in itself, as is the joy of the company I've found here.

      With humble gratitude,

      Rahad

    when we find calm beneath the storm, we find freedom
    serenity flows freely through a still mind.
    to be in the gap is to be home beneath the struggling surge.

    There is a point when we can't take any more pain and turmoil, when we change. It can take a decade, a year or an instant to realize peace.
    Lovely blank verse, the unfinished last line is (yeah)
