Unseeking Seeker Poet Diminished Hexaverse

The Cuckoos Nest

We see furtive looks
Mired in gluey fears
Their minds hypnotised
In ego bubbles
Imaginary

Help is at hand
In glowing heart
Each breath we take 
Offers fresh start

What to say
What to do
But to pray

Become
Empty

Now

Andrea Dietrich December 30, 2020 at 10:27 AM these seems like a Zen thing to me. Did I get it right? I always enjoy checking out this kind of poetry!! Unseeking Seeker December 30, 2020 at 6:17 PM Reworded: save in the vibrant void of silence, we are in hypnotic thought trance springing from desire mirrored by fear. Thought free awareness or meditation/ prayer/ stillness sets us free

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart December 29, 2020 at 7:38 AM I love a good bird metaphor poem, and the cuckoo. Wonderfully wise. xomo Unseeking Seeker December 29, 2020 at 8:14 AM Thanks Maureen!

Jenna Logan December 29, 2020 at 6:47 AM Lots of people have been feeling rather empty of late, Seeker. Let's hold on to the hope of a better year. Happy one to you. Jenna Logan December 29, 2020 at 7:27 AM That's a whole new can of worms. Those with an ego that needs constant stroking really are pathetic. Sorry to have misinterpreted your intent. Unseeking Seeker December 29, 2020 at 7:20 AM Thanks Jenna. I was alluding to ego borne delusion/ madness, although it is natural in these times to associate it with the pandemic.
