Notes About The Poem

The art of raising a subject without closing it

In The Dawning

You know, you just know, its that feeling in the air
the sensation that something is going to take place.
You don't know what, you don't really care what
you are on edge, waiting, still forever waiting

Then like a stupendous flash the sky momentary lightens
and darkens again leaving an image your minds eye still see's
Its as if its been burnt every detail stunningly clear and 
yet you realise there's nothing really there as light returns

All appears normal you scratch your head and puzzle it
over and over you know that you and indeed the world
saw it but what did you all see. A flash of fantastical
light then dark then light returning just simple light

You could live another thousand without seeing it
yet here comes the conundrum what was it?

Hey my friend.. I love how your poem masterfully captures the elusive and ethereal nature of a fleeting moment, leaving the reader with a sense of wonder and contemplation. The theme revolves around the inexplicable, almost magical, experiences that transcend understanding... Glad you are still posting despite your painful struggles.. all the best.
