This summit
-is made of mist-

original poetry

There's a wavelength so placid
That arrives during motionlessness


On the crest of its grey rainbow
My body discards itself and
Selects the infinite.


Concerns are exchanged for urgings:
Proliferation must go on.

{dark . corners . vibrant . facebeam
unknown setting . features morph
you . I . it . We . vague
certainty escapes.
that I am, even
cannot be}


Gaurantees vanish; there is only discovery.
In a moment that explores itself
There is an updrafting ephiphany:

The summit of petrified awareness
Is the foothills, veiled in mist.

Notes


This poem explores the paradox of lucidity and confusion that comes with consciousness. It seeks to show parallels between the dream state and the waking state, and the states of ignorance and knowledge. In short, it is a nondualistic vignette expounded through the medium of dualistic languaging. (As always, feel free to forego reading these notes; they are optional, for those who desire a concrete aid to fuller comprehension.)

Stanza 1-3

There's a wavelength...must go on.
.
While meditating in stillness, there is a serene energy that becomes perceptible. It is so comforting that the body willingly forgets itself. Worldly concerns are discarded, in exchange for the more visceral urgings, typically connected with "proliferation" i.e. procreation & the longing for opposite polarities to unite.

Stanza 4

dark corners...cannot be.
.
The paradox of clarity and vagueness of reality, especially in dream states. The confusion is so deep that it is even uncertain whether the "I" actually exists!

Stanza 5 & 6

guarantees vanish...veiled in mist.
.
In order to find the real, we leave behind the stability of comfortable illusions. There is an autonomous nature to the process; it is the universe learning about itself. Suddenly we realize that no matter how clear our awareness becomes, what we thought was the summit of perfection is only the foothills of a higher density of wholeness.

Explaining the stanzas is a good effort and idea that you made !! Your poetries were hard to understand otherwise!! I mean, due to the tough language, vocabulary and deepness they hold !!

Nice work as always :)

Your poem is very cool, I like it. I love to hear poetry combined with music, when I am stressed or again a lot of problems in my life, poetry and music are my friends. You can smartly write poetry with, because I can not write poetry. Thanks for sharing @d-pend... :)

  • I loved this poem that challenges my logic. I think the very reason this poem exists is to explode the left side of my brain. So many contradictions: "Motionless" and "wavelength", "Grey" and "rainbow", "body discards" and "infinite". Then finally the big one that gives me the mental collapse: "The summit... is the foothills."

  • We sit still and listen to what could not be perceived. Finally we achieve the state of enlightenment. There on the summit we come to the great perception that we know nothing.

  • Wonderful!! This is my life as a father, husband, teacher, blogger, friend and follower of Christ. Just when I am so ecstatic to reach a new height I come to realize I am just starting. Epiphimy of humiliation!

Enjoy the journey my friend ^-^

Good stuff. Poetry is hard for me to understand sometimes. It takes time to digest and it's usually days later, or even experiences later when I finally have the ahh haa moment. But your describing a few lines and the general prose helped.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Glad you got something out of the explanation. Thanks for dropping by @drpuffnstuff

"what we thought was the summit of perfection is only the foothills of a higher density of wholeness." This to me is becoming a greater truth with each unfolding moment in time. Great work as usual my friend!
