KNOW ME (An Original Poem)
You think you know me
but do you really?
You’ve savored me before
like the last taste of summer wine
and you have ignored me like
some troubled stranger
asking for your last dime
Do you remember?
I call to you softly
in your time of greatest need
to offer solace and
love, without condition
I am a steady presence
who is here to ground you
in times of chaos
Are you listening?
I place no blame,
you were built
to be a stranger to yourself
in a world where the only goal
is to discover
who it is you really are
Will you love me?
There is no leap of logic
that can bring you closer to me
there is only one way,
an unfolding of your heart.
I am waiting
and will be here forever,
I will replace doubt with faith
I am your soul.

I really like this, thank you for bringing the message of consciouess through.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading! Namaste.

👍great novel always @ericvancewalton
I like poems that phrase questions. I especially like it when they only give hints to the answers, I don't always like being told what to think; none-the-less, your final line ties in nicely, a great poem, I enjoyed the read.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
333 upvotes! This post is indeed deserving of a trinity of threes.
Much appreciated, @gardenofeden!
At first I thought it was a lover, then maybe God. But the I in the poem is me. Very nice.
Thank you!
I enjoy your work... with poetry sometimes all you can say is, that's pretty. But you always weave a twist or a hidden point in yours. I like trying to find them.
