Strain Growth

Written: November 28, 2023 _________________________________________ In my last prayer, words and dreams merge, My concepts have changed as a brittle verge. Such a rainbow of hues in this growing vision, My head swirls in whispered tasks and decisions. Strong in my beliefs, I now question all things, As if a veil is lifted, I sweated even the little things, My soul is seeking knowledge and rearrange, Now awkward by set ideals, I relish the strange. No beyond blindness or rigidity to act as a slave, Having altered, I am now freed from any cave, In my recent musings, I have explored curiosity, Getting raw insight and seeing awe in diversity. My comprehension grows as I explore my mind, Laying buried muse that shines akin to orbs aligned, Placing the ideas in words is an ideal symphony, Written words depict my impending destiny. My route is wider, and I explore the universe, Seeking wisdom all over, valuing what's diverse, We ought to value this superb mental shift, In our recent beliefs, raw prospects are adrift.

Great message and great rhymes.. I really liked the second stanza.. Strong in my beliefs, I now question all things, As if a veil is lifted, I sweated even the little things, My soul is seeking knowledge and rearrange, Now awkward by set ideals, I relish the strange.

Brilliant write. I absolutely love the rhymes here and how you’ve woven your thoughts in such an introspective manner. I always find wisdom flowing in eloquence in your poems. And you always pass on deep and profound messages while playing around with words in a lyrical manner. I can see your muse is always in a right place. Searcher someone that focuses on light and gratitude can be depicted through your poems. “ Written words depict my impending destiny” this sums up truth of written words.
