why am I blinded by your sight
immaculate sun
tease the clouds away
I’ve only five senses and cannot
grasp the fleeing whispers
from this splintered earth
hear my request ~
unveil the path
to endless sky.

Only five senses, Tricia? Your sixth sense has captured the fleeing whispers in this poem!
😊 Thanks, Kim! I may have meditated all day to write that short poem! J/K I just ate some ice cream 🍨! 🤣
I felt like I was the one speaking these words as I was reading them, Tricia.

Thanks, David! It is the human experience, isn’t it? 💞
‘I’ve only five senses and cannot
grasp the fleeing whispers
from this splintered earth’
This is so beautiful and profound! Blake talked about being closed off from reality by our senses and I picked up on that here too.
Thanks, Ingrid! ❣️
I really like this–especially:
“I’ve only five senses and cannot
grasp the fleeing whispers
from this splintered earth”
Thanks, Merril! 💕
You’re welcome!
This is so lovely.
Thanks so much, Linda! 🥰
Up, up, and away…
It’s a fun climb! 😎
Lovely imagery. I imagine you as more of a six-sensory chic. Nice pen.
Thanks so much! 💞
This is exquisitely drawn! 💝💝 Your poetic sense shines through here 🙂
Thanks, Sanaa! 🥰
Marvelous brevity!
Thanks, Xan! 🥰
The juxtaposition between the bright sun and the splintered world is really important to remember. We do need the darkness sometimes to remember. Have you ever seen the movie “Burnt by the sun” ? you cannot get too close to brightness.
Haven’t seen that one. I do think our eyes at times aren’t capable of seeing and recognizing certain truths until we evolve spiritually. 🌞
I’m speechless… “great piece” sounds paltry, so you’ll have to imagine my applause 🙂
Thanks so much! I applaud your comment! 👏👏
Pleased you liked the poem! 🥰
Oh, good–I didn’t fail miserably 🙂 You’re welcome! ❤
