Premiere Contest WinnerInner Nemesis

Intrigued by the beauty of bewildering sorrow

Never far away from their own contradictions

Nebulous ghosts sound a fog horn of doubt

Encased in confabulation the truth lies raw

Revered by transgressions and translucent pain


Nirvana beckons at the core of sunken Atlantis

Equates archetypal enigmas plying for due fare

Mother Gaia unveils blindfolds of honesty

Essential tears dissolve trances of transience 

Serenity shouts for decision virtue and love

Intimate foes take the battle to interior shores

Sisyphus ties his buoy to an anchour of hope

Hello Kai Micheal Neumann, a deep created poem. Trying to do something and never get it right, makes a person do it until it is right. Enjoy your evening my friend.

To try the same thing over and over again, even if it does not work, is one definition of insanity. Kind wishes, Kai

Thank you Juliet. If one cannot get the boulder to the top, join it at the bottom. Just step on it and then see clearer. Kind wishes, Kai
