Poetry Slam week1 - Wisdom

in #dsound6 years ago (edited)


Here is my poem for the first Poetry Slam competition.....

Being in this moment
wisdom that is known
visceral enchantment
expressed in blood and bone

No thought for moderation
No bitter twist of woe
Absent of obligation
Resistance cannot grow

Nonchalance an echo
Of times misunderstood
Feelings of attachment
Lost in wisdoms flood

The whisper of the ego
No more reverberates
Deep depths of pure welcome
Where silence take its place

This citadel - this stronghold
Perception ever keen
Allied to sweet compassion
Where love can reign supreme

Come take this walk to welcome
Come hear its reverent cry
Upon its wing take comfort
When darkness speaks it’s lie

For only in this lightness
Where purity takes breath
Will Wisdom be your saviour
Your home of tenderness.

Wow man, this is gorgeous.

The whisper of the ego
No more reverberates
Deep depths of pure welcome
Where silence take its place

Really loved this quatrain, very very nice.

Thank you.

Nice one!

Absent of obligation
Resistance cannot grow

Favorite part

I need to start writing more poetry, how long did this take you, because you nailed it

Thanks Jake, well not long really, I've always enjoyed playing with lyrics and vocabulary. I'm no expert, but I do enjoy the process.
