Caveat At the Cave

CAVEAT AT THE CAVE

C areful   consider  stop  think  listen  feel  and  go  for  it

A t  the  entrance  of  an  unknown  cave  you  might find

V icissitude   and   victory   over  the    unknown  yourself

E nter at your  risk  to find  surety  safety  reality  change

A lterations   will  have  to  be  made  in your  flow of  life

T owards   uncomfortable   truths  to  shed   toxic   waste


A nger  anxiety  angst  denial  will  have  to  be embraced

T rauma  and  turbulence   resolved    challenged   gained


T he Ariadne thread-threat is covered in mud under water

H uman  waste  awaits you here for  recycling the  joy  of

E ndless    seeming   loops  of   minding   mindless   mind


C onverted  into  passion   humility   strength  and  loving
 
A nticipation of   labour  miracles and  novel   destinations

V oiding the void  no longer  will shine on  your path  your

E xit from the  self-made cave  you cannot avoid no  more

Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 8/4/2016 7:44:00 AM It comes to mind the myth of the cave as it is presented in the "Republic" of Plato! A well-thought and deep poem that one should take time to read and digest before commenting! Wonderful in style and content dear, Kai Neumann! A seven! Login to Reply Kai Michael Neumann Date: 8/4/2016 9:10:00 AM Hi Demetrios. Well, I did not even think of Plato and all the shadows, but it is so obvious. Something from Philosophy 101 must have stuck deeply...Thank you.
