Landing in the unknown

[Alethia]

Landing in the unknown

another chapter of your life

unsure, mixed in feeling

yet ready to explore with delight

 

As pages have turned,

I have observed and learned

potential awakened

yet nothing set firm

 

I long for that chapter

where you enter and know,

what you are doing in this book

about to flow

 

You remember how easy

each creation you found,

a potential in waiting

for something not bound

 

Not bound by a drifter

who drifts in and out,

but settled and richer,

in much more

than just a bout

 

You long to immerse

into something worthwhile,

something so deep

flowing and wild

 

As I turn to myself

in this space looking back,

I have seen my potential

step by step in fact

 

To stay a while

in a much richer way,

I long for the writer

in me to say

 

I can pick up past potential,

I can use it all at a whim,

I can create from heart

I can create anything

 

Many suffer writers blocks,

but in this moment

I feel,

awakened and sad,

for some reason

unknown to this deal

 

This contract called life

where you lose your immersion of the deep,

I long as a writer to find it and keep

 

Keep it all in me, not a whim or faze,

A knowing deep down

that I can deepen and stay

 

Stay immersed and complete

something more than a clue,

a mirror or reflection

It's so long overdue...

Welcome to The Pen, Alethia!

 

I'm relatively new myself

 

This is just a drive-by pop in; I'll be back to read your poem again more carefully. You've created a few points that I can connect to emotionally.

Hi Brighid,

 

Not sure where you introduce yourself so just landed in with the thoughts of the moment..

 

Thankyou for sharing

I, too, feel the weight of a mind too full to use. Your poem is long, but I like it.
