The Filter of My Mind

like steaming water seeps through the openings in the bottom of a colander the wisdom of ages past is filtered by my conscious mind leaving all but a few bits and pieces caught in the process I am ashamed to only share the remnants of the astounding truth that came to me giving only the morsels that manage to slide through my self-imposed filter to myself and to others that so desperately need a deeper awareness surely the unfiltered surge of the power of a great truth would be beyond my mental capacity if not insulated by the Creator of all intelligence only then could such truth pass through me to others as I humbly submitted to the source of truth the harshness of my misconception and the pollution of pure truth haunt me as I struggle to stop the manipulation and allow truth to freely flow through me I call upon you the great Creator of all that is asking your acceptance of my earnest offer Take back the choice so freely given and let thy wisdom and truth manifest through me I gladly give my freedom of choice back to you and patiently await your will for my life Then without my filter your Truth will dispel the illusion leaving us only true reality

Thanks, Paula. I was very busy during the last two weeks of December and missed several of the comments on earlier poems. I apologize for the late response to some of your thoughtful comments. Bill

A deeply personal and spiritual outpouring, Bill. Well done. We must all come to our personal truth in our own way. Will it be respected by those who know us? I don't know, but I know it is a critically important personal venture.

Maybe, just maybe; some on this site may actually accept others as they are. But in general, nope, not until there's a real awakening ... not the "woke" politician kind. This is the only free verse I've written to this point, usually just comes out rhyming. Here I was just letting it out. Been busy, soup mail in the next few days. Too much to say to rush it ...lol Bill

Thanks Vijay, I'm trying to let my authentic self out of the facade he's been hiding behind. Your Texas friend, Bill
