Nexus

Nexus Spinning on a sharp point of connectedness Fulcrum pivots on micro pinpoints A pilgrimage, a crux, From oblivion to authentic choice – Sharp point of indecision and a-ha – A sliver of either or pierces the tipping point In conundrums of balance Sharp honesty, gilded with empathy, Or Thorny truths on turning points ~ Intentional grace clothed in compassion Or Hard edges of exacting truth ~ Merciful discretion Or Bleak transparency ~ Authenticity Or Opaque imagery of the vague ~ Sharp pinpoints of objectivity Or Honesty framed in love’s elixirs As the waking soul of indecision Stands on two feet in balance To oscillate upon nexus pivot points Of truth Or Discretion ~ To seize wonder Or Tremble at the portal of the unknown ~ Remain in the numbing coma of wakefulness Or Enter true blissful consciousness That leaves footprints on the source of love. 3-7-22 Contest: Consciousness Fulcrum Sponsor: Unseeking Seeker

You rose to the challenge, dear Sam. You have explored some deep thoughts and yin/yang dichotomies, each pivoting on the word "or" representing life choices. To meet, the first half seems to focus on navigating relationships and the second half on interacting with our environment. I love the lines, "To oscillate upon nexus pivot points" and "Tremble at the portal of the unknown". Here's to more a-ha moments! Some great thinking and wonderful writing here... big congrats!

Hi Seeker! Per usual your contest theme and your poem provoked some serious contemplation. What a gift - a challenge to go deeper and reach higher consciously and let the unconscious bubble up to the surface providing delightful "a-ha" moments of revelation. Thank you for your placement. It is an honor to be among such poems of depth. Blessings. Gratitude for all that you do here on the soup.
