“… of the eternal Face without gestures
and of the kingdom without form.”  Gabriella Mistral  ‘Anniversary ‘

Ever Yearning

As deep calls to deep within me
slowly I untangle
the habits of the mind,
perhaps now my heart can see
as ever yearning through
the fog of all that is
drawing me ever inwards
that I might see your face
as if for the first time,
you who are eternal stillness,
come, let me see.

    I love the way you use introspect to find what you look for.

      Thank you for picking up on that Bjorn, I know it’s my default, I saw something of it in the three poems, but especially the second. It’s the contemplative in me 🙂

    The thought of finally knowing someone, when all is revealed, is tantalizing, as if a reward for all of the time together.

    Ahh just beautiful. Soothing, calming and that image of the clear what binds the whole piece together. I particularly love that lsat but one line – ‘you who are eternal stillness’, gorgeous!

    Wonderful thoughts, Paul! Sometimes really we have freeing the mind, to see the relevant things. Michael
