in deference to the nomad poem
i felt you there
condescending from the ether
these eyes stunned
by the glimpse
it took me several peregrinations
before i could see you again in the hue
of the green flash
another age as a philatelist was to lapse
before i saw your last stanza
in the tasawwuf
of a poet
long dead.
poetry is many things for many mortals
for me
it is finding
enough
of your tailings
to make a mole-size talisman
to be embedded
a tad left of my sternum
some pursuits
aimless to the sane
whilst nothing but deferential
to the chaser

I love this for two reasons
The first is the manner in which it is written,
cross referencing to poetry, what we hold close to the heart
and soul... our beliefs and the attempt to spill light on them
for others to see and just possibly understand.
The second is that of spiritual awaking and acceptance of something greater
than ourselves along with the steadfastness in striving to achieve a
level of understanding and live the teachings of that belief,
even in the face of those who scorn and ridicule the effort
.
This is a beautiful read to find upon my arrival today.

CF, clear excellence has broken through onto the page. (Nice to get reading you again after NaPo).
A_T above has summarised my thinking.
Especially like the last stanza. Josh.

And if I needed proof that we are far more than what we can detect with our five physical senses...
You are masterful. Thank You
