Peter Rees Poet Free verse

If You Could

Inner turbulence swirls
Imprisoned
As in liquid amber,
When motion ends 
And the peace
And the stillness
Of eternity doesn't 
Answer the question,
If you could
You'd gaze beyond
Your tiny prison,
And if you could
You'd greet a star 
New-born
On your horizon
And if you could
You'd ask the void
"Is that it?"
But you know the answer
Anyway
Don't you.
You've known it all along.

Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck September 26, 2017 at 10:03 AM You remind me of a permaculture design principle: Solutions are implied within our Problems. The span of answering resolutions is predicted in the centering mind and heart of questing. Peter Rees September 26, 2017 at 10:51 AM Thank you for this interesting comment, which I shall ponder.

Patricia Cresswell September 21, 2017 at 1:05 PM Yes the answers are there but in life they don't seem grand enough so they can't be true.Peter you have opened my mind digging for treasure. What is really in there, what knowing do I possess and not aware of it. I am excited to face what is written on my heart. Thank you.
