Clarity

By Dilated View

Stood beneath a bluish haze
That held a vision
Of the ages in reflecting rays
And begged for wisdom.

"Do you know who I am,"
I asked,
"Or where I've been?
In fact
I cannot recall
Having ever grown to be."

Whispering with breezes
I heard its answer, speechless
"Worry not, young traveler,
You're anything you dream."

    I immediately had visions of a misty forest setting.....excellent write with much wisdom

  • A former member wrote: reminiscent of a parable.... perhaps an eastern exchange between a sage and a student, but the pronoun indicates the answer comes not from a human source... lucidity, the blending of waking life with the freedom of a dream..... if only reality were so easily affected. well done, man....I like the ambiguity of 'speechless'.
