Notes About The Poem

Happy New Year

a digit shifts
conjuring hope
sans our resolve
so we raise a toast
to the powers that be
without any clarity
on what we seek
for we know not
who we are

Not everyone raises a toast to the powers that be Seeker, although some just do it out of tradition, without any clarity perhaps on what they seek, personally my search is for enlightenment by any means scientific or spiritual, thought provoking write, hope I read it right, cheers David

The identity that seeks enlightenment does not exist!

Indeed I don’t make them myself, but my resolve to find enlightenment is a diurnal search!
