Truth Lies at the Bottom
Far beneath the ocean blue,
where sun-dappled layers of
fishbowl living take place,
here I am not decorated
with fake plants and
dyed-gravel mimicry
Far beneath the raging storm,
where wave-tossed sails of
tattered breathing make haste,
here I am not abandoned
with watery love and
calm-pretense forgery
Far beneath the falling deep,
where murky-black miles of
abysmal fearing lays waste,
here I am not contused
with crushing weight and
night-shadow anxiety

Deep inside us lies the truth of our Being, and it's nothing to do with fear or loathing. It's pure, unobstructed love.
Well done, Luna. Your entries are fabulous! Great job!

It sometimes takes the big dives to get to what's true about ourselves.
Sometimes it's good and sometimes it needs work, but getting there is half the battle.
Great thought provoking piece.

Dear L,
Everyone above has used all the good words and better thoughts. I can only say I really loved this. Each stanza’s opening line is mesmerizing and brings me right down to the core and forces me to really look at what I really am. It’s scary so I’m coming back up to the surface but your words have loosened a great burden for me and it was incredible. Lovely lovely write! H 🌷

A dazzling poetic exploration of your own being. The imagery here is loaded with meaning and sparkles like a hypnotist crystal. This is a true gem of a poem. I didn't just see it I felt it deep down. You have created a looking glass of poetic wonder.

Someone’s tapped in deep. Sometimes I think 💭 the act of personifying a fundament, such as the ocean 🌊 isn’t speculation but evocation, the farthest listening from the oldest cells.

I think the first thing the grabbed my attention are the first two words of the title "Truth Lies" not sure if it's because I've also used those two words as oxymorons and as double meanings, but how you really dove (pun intended) deep into this emotion.
I've always enjoyed those pieces that repeat a line, as if to embed it but the "Far beneath" repetition really drives the messege.
Excellent work and a lovey 2nd entry for NaPoWriMo (yes, I'm barely catching up with all my readings now).

dear LGH
I am not decorated
with fake plants and
dyed-gravel mimicry
~~~~~~
these lines 'show' and are very painterly
they offer much more than 'telling'
a warm smile
silent lotus
