Getting a student to do what I don't seem to be able to do....
« on: January 21, 2020, 03:47:38 am »
I never could write poetry... well, truth is I can't recal ever trying, but I have one student who now only writes to me in poetry and I really enjoy it. Here you go:

My being expands beyond the body
I am that table too
and the air between "us"

it is all just layers of illusion (creation)
physical, causal, astral
whatever
they're the same

everything can be found in everything
nothing's more real than something

i don't believe my feelings anymore
they're nothing but echoes from past dreams
bouncing from empty walls now
until they notice
there's nothing to hang on anymore

the wardrobe is empty

and I am watching the kingdom rise and fall
again and again
every morning and night as I open and close my eyes

Love you

I came to the conclusion that i couldn't trust my feelings because they were echoes from the past

Such a beautiful poem...straight from the heart of It.

Thank you, thank you Jed......my invisible guru sharing exquisite lines from an invisible poet.  You're forum is such a rare and precious gift to me...to all of us.  You make space for the very best, the most important and the most indescribable aspects of our selves....the parts unknown....to shine.

I rarely write poems. Thought i share one i made back around December or January.

Nobody to become except death to embrace
Doing what i can to avoid the rat race
Stuck in a society where acceptance comes by presenting a false face
Looking around, never felt so out of place
Makes me want to disappear without a trace
