Poem: Endarkenment (Original & Freshly Baked This Evening)
Synchronicity (Again)
It is funny that I came across this subject as a poetry competition, as it is the perfect explanation of what it is going on in my head at the moment - endarkenment.
It might have been a tongue in cheek suggestion, but my head is going through a whole new education right now as morals, thoughts, beliefs are all in the process of being adjusted.
Thank you "Might is Right". It's an education, but I agree with a lot of the views on religion and society, but the rest is quite difficult to digest, but it definitely could fall under the category of endarkenment.
Poem: Endarkenment
A life's journey blinded by rainbows and light
When I should have been looking in the dead of night
Belief in what is good and pure
I don't believe in that anymore.
The spiritual plain is still on the horizon
As my mind adjusts and gets more wisened
But no more organized religion
Not even a tiny smidgen.
Endarkenment shuts down the outside world
It's ends blackened and curled
An eclipse of the brain
As my own thoughts reign
I will create my truths
And teach them to the youths
I will not be a politician's muse
I will be who I choose
I am going to end up off the grid
Away from society, but still amid
Nature, friends and the weather
Free, without law's tether.
Closing Thoughts
I will always have a strong belief in love though, as much as it has done me bad. It is my core. Everyone needs a helping hand out of the darkness at some point, even if it is just a fleeting moment. What they do after that fleeting moment is theirs to decide, I hope they choose to use it to get strong in themselves and not sink back into the tar.
I also keep hearing the phrase "Every good deed never goes unpunished", which is quite apt as I have ended up a grand in debt from helping someone out last November. I need to pick the people I choose to help more carefully, not be blinded by the heart or convincing small talk, but instead look for strength.
Lessons everywhere I look. But it is awesome I have never been it such a good place in my head. Free and content.
And it will only get better, as more makes sense in the arms of the universe.
Ps. Thank you to @ecoinstant, else I would have never seen this competition.

The rhymes are what has got me deep in thoughts, it's rhythmic, sweet, amazing and wonderful.
The emotions too was felt, and I saw the simple use of English very splendid
Thank you, emotions are raw on that front at the moment.
excellent poem once again its great to see that wonderful :)
Thank you
We always learn from our experiences. I have also helped out a few people which put me in bad position in the end. Sometimes helping someone out can hurt you a lot. I learnt this the hard way.
I think it just one of those facts of life - win some, lose some, but don't let change who you are.
Love the last stanza and agree with the sentiments @hopehuggs!
I am finding more and more great people that do.
you know there is such a wise saying from a smart person: "I have never met a person in my life who would not teach me anything" That is, every person who comes across to us on the way is able to teach us what (trust, love, not be naive and so Further)
A great poem with a deep meaning
Good should be with your fists, you need to help good people and do not wait for anything in return, in that case your karma will return your kindness to you - say this is the fundamental law of the universe.
Thank you, and I wish you the best of luck on your journey.
That is a good wise saying. Kindness karma also sounds good to me.
Oh wow, great poem! I was about to enter in the contest, but now I have to rethink it, I don't stand a chance. Very well done, especially the last two stanzas rang true with me!
I hope you entered it anyway.
one of the best poems i have read in recent times :)
an upvote for flattery
Glad you found it! Well done and great that you tied it back to your own personal development.
Extra points from me for using the word 'wisened' ;p
It seemed the perfect title, let's see what today's topic will be...
Wisened fitted in there nicely ;P
Great job, nice work, wonderful, i like it, have a good night !)
Hi Helen
This poem really moved me. I like how it maps your journey into awakening from previous illusions of 'rainbows and light' to a darker but realer perspective.
The rainbows are still there, but they're rendered even more beautiful by the layers, depth and darkness of an awakened mind.
Sorry to hear you've been stiffed on a loan. My long-dead auntie sometimes quoted, 'Neither a borrower nor lender be.' Wise words. Just wish she hadn't said them after I'd asked to borrow a tenner (the tight bugger) ;p
Ah, gorgeous freedom. Sweetest taste of them all.
Be well
