SOME MORE QUESTIONS

by C.S. Scotkin

Dreams of challenges, choices and change

Invaded my brain, in deepest sleep

There was no rest

Examine these drops,

Are they rain or tears

or falls from grace?

Does it matter?

Is it our fault?

Is it our glory?

Can we learn to dance

While avoiding toes?

    Hello Cynthia,

    This is a thing that has been tearing (how come 'tear' and 'tear' are spelt the same?) at the open wound on my heart. I think I will write it all down someday.

    Myself, I never liked brains, even fried ones. They complicate the mundane and overlook the critical.

    Poetic metaphors are meant to enrich us, nourish our souls. You have done so.

    If I keep gazing at their toes,

    I'll never learn to dance;

    At best, I 'd emulate their moves,

    mime woes and sighs of

    their romance.

    sit on their seat,

    pretend their heat,

    dance my time

    to their heart-beat..

    Nice write, Cynthia. I do ask myself such questions; and the answers are always there, but the limitations of meanings imposed by traditional definitions of terms (e.g. glory, fault, dance) might not be of much help to comprehend broader the picture of those answers. So I keep asking!

    Me thanks you for sharing this verse!

  • Good Morning!

    .. I held the dreams

    today or was it

    yesterday,

    they floated off,

    vexatiously

    ...

    I felt relief

    it melted off my

    ...back

    to where I was

    before, and

    nothing mattered

    Good to see you!

    In dreams, anything is possible, but some questions are unanswerable.
