Unseeking Seeker Poet Rhyme

Be to become

Incredulity and disbelief marked their demeanour
When we spoke of ineffable rapture of unending bliss
We were asked to prove validity of our affirmation 
So we pointed to a blooming rose and said, ‘become this’

Gershon Wolf December 1, 2023 at 1:09 PM As Gertrude Stein famously wrote: "A rose is a rose is a rose." Being and becoming in one breath. Huzzah! :) gw Unseeking Seeker December 1, 2023 at 5:41 PM When we become the answer, we need thereafter no translator

Mike Bayles December 1, 2023 at 9:21 AM I like how your poem leads to an image of a rose. Unseeking Seeker December 1, 2023 at 5:40 PM Thank you!

Ink Empress December 1, 2023 at 5:52 AM Greatest response to cynical ones. I really love the word “ ineffable” I don’t see many using it, you’ve used it beautifully. Always enjoy reading your deep and meaningful poems. This one is no different. That last line is just brilliant Unseeking Seeker December 1, 2023 at 7:04 AM Thank you, IE :)
