Resolve

Wonder, searches every other time.
In mind, questions may dissolve
But now, blazing queries find
The blankest wall
And nothing is resolved.

What of this, a corridor of doubt.
Like pen trails in a puzzle, the
Lines converge and lead to empty
White within – unsatisfactory.
Go back and start again?

Resolve as sure, as that blankest wall
Unblemished clarity, nothing scribbled.

It is not a bad thing to come to "the blankest wall, Unblemished clarity", because it means the past is behind and you can write a new chapter in your book of life.

Whenever I read one of your poems, I feel like we are in the same place in life...staring at that corridor of doubt. It can make for a very unsettled life, but I think writing about it helps us sort out our feelings, David. Another very insightful poem here that seems to speak to my deepest fears -- the blankest wall where nothing is resolved. I'm still hoping to get to the UK in the near future. Sure would be nice to tour the old British castles. Love, Carolyn
