JOURNAL # 37

the soul is the eternal owner
of all understanding
so why search for one selling
what you already have
in the very fiber of your most true
self
it is your ego identity that speaks
these words
to the noisy rooms of your mind
questioning the realness
of such persona displayed
to the world
so be a more careful watcher
over the thinker
and the peace that dwells
deepest within
will come to sit with you
to still most of that
negative noise
wallowing in needless fear
and its there
that your poetry will stream clear................

I WILL CAST THE BOTTLE ALRIGHT I VALUE THE ADVICE LET ME ASK, THOUGH, HAVE YOU HEARD OF ANYONE WHO SELLS UNDERSTANDING I FEEL I'VE NOT BEEN UNDERSTOOD FOR HALF A CENTURY BABY I HAVE BEEN TRYING AND CRYING AND NEVER BEEN UNDERSTOOD.

I have been reading poetry for nearly 37 years. This is one of the most brilliant and profound poems that I have read in that time. This poem deserves to be, and will be, one of the great classics of all time.

I'm still gaping.......... you flatter my writing thus. I am but the conduit. Anything that comes to me I feel is but from God. but thank you truly for your sincere comment. M.
