markdohle Posted October 30, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Our deepest selves People will often hope for a place of rest, but then if found, is only for a short time, the word pilgrim is not always a pleasant one, but in the end we are all on a journey, and time the road we travel on. To hate that reality is to go against raw fact, and the truth is that we are moving, rapidly towards 'something', that faith and doubt dance with. ... Our deepest longings are they real, the inner thirst that we carry will it be quenched, our desire to be ‘seen’ and loved totally, possible? Human longings thirst and desire, flow from one place; our deepest selves; a compass of sorts to guide us forward on our pilgrimage, until the road ends and another pilgrimages begins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted October 30, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sometimes being told you are loved by someone can be more satisfying than anything else and makes everything else more satisfying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcion Meets E. Sibyl Posted October 31, 2012 #4 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Speaking of love... Pass the hours of my breath Behind the silence of our gaze Yet, next to me you stay -- 'til death? Why should we bend our ways! The thought of past I bury Now secret clings without remorse In your eyes of blue -- the story Running its winding course Call it what you will, I fear For time is all we have, they say Mending heart I carry, my Dear Absolves the end of day Tomorrow is a lifetime Dwarfed by the slowness of your pace Though longing glance betrays, sweet sign Of passion I embrace Just sharing. Peace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryannatimothy Posted October 31, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Beautiful and very true. It is kind of sad as well but it leaves a lot of thoughts to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcion Meets E. Sibyl Posted October 31, 2012 #6 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hi aryannatimothy, When I wrote it, I was at a bittersweet stage of my life. Now, the poem has a more melancholy tinge to it; nevertheless, I have a hopeful and practical nature. Life is not always sad, so I tell myself. For instance, I received an email yesterday evening that good fortune is on its way, but still, my heart feels empty. 'Tis the nature of living, I suppose. Thank you for your thoughts. Peace.
