Notes About The Poem

Trivia in the true meaning of the word are signposts on Roman road crossings. Depicting messages for all travelers to take on board on their jouneys.

Trivia Signposts To Self

Trivia ~ Signposts to Self ~

They say that home is where the heart rests
where paths join on that one journey called

               ~ Life before passing on ~

Road maps show the way back and forth a
considerate needle in many a ‘Stay-Stack’

               ~ Following shadows ~

Cast by stars and comets rising from glowing ashes
Icarus’ waned wings wax on residue’s impact resolved

               ~ Writings on walls ~

Fountains script a soft travel log with logic
and felt pens of emotions inked in feelings’

               ~ Bosom straight at the pulsating core ~

A cradle of empathy kindness compassion awaits when we
embrace never to discredit a sentient being with hatred or hurt

               ~ Aimed outside inside within and without ~

One home stable in motion beating for certain a reolute
heart is anchored in body mind essence and soul from true

               ~ Signed posts of love ~

Trivia’s messages transcend empty cliches resurrecting from words without
meaning the beaming abound and ahead once we glimpse gleams of courage

               ~ To acknowledge also loving ourselves ~

This clever poem, has so much weight, and insight, significant signs that could easily be taken too lightly. Loved the way you have outlined life's roadmaps we too often overlook and ignore. And from you, whose poetry is above the norm, I am honored by your approval of my entry in your Tunnel contest. :) Thank you very much Kai !! Wow..such a nice surprise it was!
