Doppler Vision, A Compounded Riddle

Dreams, do we imagine!? or imagined for us?~ not really ours man’s daily/nightly flighty escapes – perhaps mystically inspired? Projections of a superior curtain-wizard: His/its contrived illusions, erudite brothers propose, the mind a carnival trickster -- a phenomenal liar: such illumination just mental, painted flame, no spark of true spiritual fire, myself least fond of, the notion before the thinker... the drink making thirsty the drinker -- like the egg and the chicken, the shell or the cluck prayer answered or declined and not a smidgen of exciting, wagering blind-luck --

Your free verse is great. Your musing is exhilarating. You ask questions for depth of thought.

Your poem offers a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of dreams and the various interpretations they inspire. Through its lyrical language and philosophical musings, the poem invites readers to engage in their own introspective journey into the realm of dreams and consciousness.

Thank you, Si; I know nothing...and poetry is my way of lyrically, wonderfully seeking truth. I will never achieve truth-truth...but pure beauty will I know through association with the great mindful spirits of other poets and artists here on Soup. Thank you. Blessings my friend.

This poem delves into the mystery of dreams. They are indeed "man’s daily/nightly flighty escapes" – I love that line so much. The poem comes to the conclusion that mind is a great trickster and a phenomenal liar. Great thoughts, philosophical and deep as ever. Have a beautiful Sunday, dear Joe!

Dear joe, i love the rhythm of this and the way youv woven words in such a creative manner ensuring that you express so many thoughts here, giving an introspective touch, as it is thought provoking too! Especially the ending is clever how youv phrased thoughts, like “ myself least fond of, the notion before the thinker... the drink making thirsty the drinker -- like the egg and the chicken, the shell or the cluck prayer answered or declined ” soulful! Pleasure reading this. Sending you light

This is a deep, intellectual poem of questing introspection that seeks the worth of individuality. I like this poem. May our future decisions be freely made.

So many people think that predestined does not allow for complete individuality, autonomy. People think that, God being in control means that he overrides our Free Will...and then just punishes when we blow it -- nothing could be further from the truth...as I see it anyway. God is all Love and the Law at the same time -- there is no contradiction. All Law, all loving, all forgiving at the same time.

An exploration of the mystical that sometimes envelope thoughts and minds. Thinking deep leads to appreciation of the unknown--as you have done, Joe.

Hi Vijay; the unknown is only learning to know ourselves -- everything is known to God of whom we are offspring. My opinion, full disclosure, only expert on screwing-up. Blessings my friend. Have a wonderful weekend.

I sincerely liked your poem, Joe. I found it engaging and a bit of a mind twister. I liked 'mystically inspired.' I especially liked the last two lines! Well done & have a great evening, Sara
