Lost Meditations

~

lost meditations resurface
in these november years

reflections of mysteries once pondered
beauty beheld
of veiled truth pursued

in quiet depth
disturbed only by faint breath
beckoning me inward
to the bright center of joy

where a flutter of understanding
in a snap-flash of oneness
shudders me conscious
in shivering anticipation
of that which is not known

that which cannot be named
in the twilight of this finite
as threads of evermore
bind fast my dreams
to carry them onward
effortlessly

I gently surrender
as lost meditations resurface
in my november years

    1. The body is finite – the mind, infinite. I thought it was about regret, or resignation, but it struck me that rather, it was about realisation that some things continue long after we lose the ability to be creative.

    2. “that which cannot be named
      in the twilight of the finite
      as threads of evermore
      bind fast my dreams
      to carry them onward
      effortlessly”

      this was lovely

    3. Annamari –

      Thank you for the kind words… 😉

      My your quest bring you to the “bright center of joy”!

    4. Stan Ski –

      It is likely about all of those — and about one’s surrender to the mystic, to the sense of wonder… as Van would muse, “to the inarticulate speech of the heart”

    5. Linda –

      Be a soul in wonder — surrender to your dreams, thus giving them power… I’m pleased you liked this! 😉

    6. Nathan –

      Thank you! I was compelled down this written path immediately upon consuming the collaborative word salad RWP posted as the prompt… I believe I’ve gotten close to that epiphanal “snap-flash of oneness” at least once in my life

    7. Tammie –

      I am pleased this touched you… this flowed from a stream of consciousness, from a mild ecstatic state. 😉

    8. Angel –

      It resonates a bittersweetness, upon initial take — but look more deeply into the words. I think you might discover the core of satisfying actualization that abides therein…

    9. Rambler –

      I am very glad this stanza engaged you.

      It was a rich and captivating experience when these words revealed themselves… 😉

    10. There are so many splendid word choices here.

      I particulary liked:
      …the twilight of the finite
      as threads of evermore
      bind fast my dreams…

      You packed a wallop with those lines. Isn’t that where we all arrive at some point – at that very point of oppostiion? Fantastic!

      Thanks for visiting Old Mossy Moon. It was a pleasure to have you stop by. I’ll be here again soon, for sure. KLG

    11. Geraldine –
