Only when you're old

do you know: it doesn't matter --


if you're postponing.
Novel "Vreemde streken" ("Foreign places", 1985, Renate Dorrestein), chapter 2

Collection "Old sore"
Not so 
Evil minded 
Nor be in ***** thoughts. 
That's going to rule or play role.
In me
Knowledge of God is with me, so 
He will only guide me. 
And protect me
Always
Corinthians 10:5
Jeremy Betts Sep 20
A wrong way trend setter
In my own personal time line
Can't say I didn't know better
Each decision was mostly mine
Goals for someone not a go getter
Become the shackles that bind
Having to eat my words for dinner
I fear sitting down to dine

This mangled heart of mine
I've had to start retraining
Teaching it to feel once more
Encouraging it to love
Without replacing the core
Stop keeping score
Don't forget player one
That character
Looking back from the mirror
No need to fear the next beat
More than the one before
Reassuring we'll find the shore
We still have one oar
Emphasizing no two moments are identical
Learn from the past,
Accept what's in-store
Hurt stops at nothing
But look how far you've made it while sore
Battles have been lost
But make sure
To stand tall amidst the war
Don't be your own saboteur

The further I am

travelling, the less I know --


actually know.
"Tao Te Ching" #47 (ca. 300 BC)

Song "The Inner Light" (1968, George Harrison & The Beatles)

Collection "Glimpsed"
Stephen Knox Sep 8
The realization of what all this is, gets granted by our deeds.
Focus not on the hardships, given attention they grow like weeds.

When connecting with the source of us, the Hero will always emerge .
Feeling the light that’s inside you, uncertainties now have been purged.

Traveling in to see this realm, up higher than you might think.
Looking down at these worlds intertwined, evolving together in sync

Seeing the happenings of the now, consciously look inside.
Notice that worlds of division, are right on course to collide.

Looking at every problem, seeing every side.
Be forthright in your honesty to always know who lied          

We’ve been stuck inside here since this began, nine of us come and we go.  
Understanding that the waters above, are expressly there to hold us below.

I’ve seen what things will come to pass, on the day of this brilliant light.
dark secrets finally visible, compelling us all to unite.

The knowledge, downloads or upgrades, however they are known.
Have always been deep inside you, like seeds that need to be grown

Resolving that external problems are solved deep from within. This light that gives reflection, again will soon begin.

Glimpses, whiffs, and shadows
But suffice to know, fully assured
Even to wager all, life and more
And to forego all, even to fast
For Truth does not mock
And the fullness' unimaginable
But an unseen certain fulfillment;
Awakened is before the dawn
A lightening and not the light
In anticipation and excitement
In joyous fear, with trembling steps
Approach the glowing chasm
In angelic choruses and many suns
Lifted off the ground on many wings
Higher and vaster the sight
Intoxicating the fragrant scent
Fearsomeness in shadows unveiled;
And the chasm's edge is further yet
For even the Perfect waits for All
His wounds unhealed a promise
Of Oneness only when All is One.
Nick Moore Aug 30
The surface has many
Tracks,
Where previous thinkers
Have passed

It's easy to slot into one
Thinking it's you're own path

Jumping grooves
The next stage,
Gaining multiple view
Confusing at times
But worth it,
The *** is starting to brew

Skating on the surface of knowledge
How fast do you want to go?
Take a break at the side
When exhausted,
What next do you want to know?
G Vermeulen Aug 29
Pearlescent backdrop
Drapes on top
Silhouette of darkness
Edges showing their sharpness

In the middle of it all
A man’s head not that tall
Seated on a couch
Pretending like a slouch

Constant ponder
Waiting for a wonder
Seeing himself
As a book that’s forever on a shelf

And while he awaits
A change in states
The backdrop fades
Just a man in the shades
Jeremy Betts Aug 28
When young
You think you'll never grow old
When old
You forget what it means to be young
And I?
I wonder aimlessly somewhere in the middle
