ONE OF A KIND

In the corridors of a muddled mind, Within the condensation of a thick fog, I often find, A relapsed presence, a menopause In life, an uncertainty Of kind, Where good and evil dined. Poetry is the release for such a mind For it abides, Inside the realms of the unknown, Hands you a key to reach, Un-reckoned heights, Ventures into twilight, The beginning or end almost tangible, The journey, virgin as a bride. Ideas cascade vigilantly fast, And sometimes in stone are cast, You think your mind Is playing tricks, You hope the misty clouds above, Will recommend, And bring to an end, This troubled mind, One of a kind, The likes of which, no one will ever find. A sudden darkness creeps ever close, A demon like, vile haunting chill, Steadfast in your spirit, soul And mind, It will not influence your will. Let good and evil collide, For you have finally Chosen your side. The unwanted solitude that was once Yours, arresting the normal start, if Theirs such a thing, of every day You have sent to its dreary grave, The winning post was always Within your sight, But you took time to Understand your blight, For blinded by the terror of being Lost in the corridors of a muddled mind, Your rightful route you Could not find, Bravely, you did not waver and have Proved, you are, one of a kind.

Your talent has tightened up, your delivery crisped up and in every way your pen has gained more ink during my absence. This is (mostly) brevity lines delivering poetic punches with heavy but delightful impact. The first verse really gave me a poetic buzz. CayCay

I can understand the the corridors of a muddled mind. Sometimes I too feel lost, mostly the effects of medication. Cleverly done.

Life is a hazardous journey through light and darkness. Though mind, sometimes, gets muddled with sad and negative thoughts, it is able to chart its way through all lumpy paths and reach its destination. Poetry is indeed a pleasant diversion when heaviness fills our hearts. It helps to lift the fog of uncertainty and doubts. Sometimes , it may take time to clear up everything. But if we patiently wait, everything will fall in line. Dear Jenny, have a great weekend. Love and hugs.

Wow! Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.

Jennifer, I like the idea of thinking about conflicting choices and paths not clear. Isn't it interesting how we eventually can come out of whatever fog inhabits us? Sometimes it just does take time and thought. Smiles!!
