MISSING TOGETHER

Today I listened to your voice

But heard beyond the words.

Seeing beyond the words

Moves towards a perceived fantasy

Made of the emotional essence

That creates the poetic observations.

Intuitive understanding is poetic,

Beyond the realms of rational ideology.

Air knowledge of earths wisdom

Gathered over time refines a being:

Not to shape a supernatural human

But the essence of true humility.

Not being able to understand

Yet to see and to feel 'it' as a thing -

As clear as the flowers of the garden,

Fresh and alive, named in latin,

Sourced in the actual light-space -

Requires poetic words of meaning.

The outsider wanting to be inside

Also sees the ways of self and other

Through the inner turmoil, resolved,

Ever moving towards unknown ends;

Perennial inability to satisfy with words

Yet constantly seeking understanding.

The insider not wanting to be outside -

Afraid of the cloudiness of rejection,

worried about the world beyond self -

Is manufactured to bury the unknown,

To allow functioning in the simple world,

In which the majority live becalmed.

Attempting to stay human and humane

Within the outside and inside of seeing,

Among those who choose to hide and play,

Whilst constantly trying to describe the world

Is the lot of the inside outside poet

Who lives in the world of normality.
