and above
The more I strain
The farther
I seem
The insanity it is
to wake
from a dream
I fetched what I threw
Stole
what I bought
Contradicting myself
lost in paradox
Simplicity at it's best....so simple
It's nature omitted
Through the power of thought only
am I forbidden
and through the power of grace
am I committed.
this is very wise and an awsome write!
I have one small thing to say and youre probably not going to like it so please ignore if deemed irrelevant, but I only bother when necessary the one small thing is the second last stanza
Through the power of thought only
am I forbidden
this seems to throw me off a little...
I thought that through the power of thought anything is possible. thoughts have the potential to create any visual. so in it you are limitless. could it be:
except through the power of thought only
am I forbidden.
-or-
through the power of thought only
am i forbidden?
just needs a little clarification. its such an exquisite piece so proverbial and wise with strong ideas excellent work regardless sorry for saying but I felt is was a shame to leave a reader with such a profound poem with the distraction of interpreting the line correctly,
Magnificent work! Cheers SS

I'm ecstatic that you're interested enough to want clarification on it!
On the line
Through the power of thought only
am I forbidden
What I was saying is that we all have conditioned thoughts that we take to be true, such as this is good and that is bad, and as long as I keep indulging in them and taking them to be who I am, I am forbidden to live in peace. Indeed thoughts and imagination make a lot of things possible, I don't deny that, but I was emphasizing more on the stubborn negative thoughts that forbid me, the thoughts that convince me to be less than I am, that convince me to be a merely separate individual opposed to life itself.
No need to be sorry, I'm happy to clarify, and thank you for your kind words!
Yes very true!
perhaps a small addition of a descriptive word would help the reader gain this very valid and important point!!! Through the limitations of your thoughts and conditioning (you are right) you do tend to limit yourself. I suppose it is a clever juxtaposition when you think about it. Now I know it is extremely MAGNIFICENT!!! excellent write! Congratulations!!!! Cheers SS.
A MUST READ! :)
