SEEING THROUGH.

Postby Fay Slimm » Sun May 10, 2015 7:58 am

Bounded by laws,
often laid down by others'
conventional duties and senses,
offended
by breakage of scrupulous habits,
shelving
fastidiously notions of change,
we feel the need
to keep laying down blame.

Propriety ending every aim,
stony-souled dogmas
find easy adoption and often remain
chiseled in deeply.

When however,
with real wholeness emerging,
torrents
of enlightening thoughts throw
fresh water over
uncaring insightfulness leaps
in awakened self-help
and conscience,
striving to see both sides,
accepts
dark and light of every event.

Seeing through former blinds clearly,
we find
evil is but merely a false
sort of reshaped reaction to tortured
good which, once derided,
decides to then harbour intended
thoughts of revenge.

Leaving behind
that ugly word Should, we could
choose
never again to condemn others
as hat-less
when a hood but lightly our own
bent head covers.

Conscience hits
crisis, and met, needs discerning
no longer
for when walking in shade
we face light
as something missed and judge
nobody evil
because they are not truly good.

Crisis, thus solved
makes for spiritual bonding.

It is very important to opens one's mind . I find great
significance in your words Fay. It would lead to greater
tolerance of others. These days there seems to be an
even greater need to be tolerant. Having said that, I
think the world's in a bit of a state. Your imagery is,
as always, superb.

it is so very easy to condemn others who think and act differently to us, and you are right Fay
perhaps it is the way forward to have more understanding
and question why before we make rash judgements

It is in our nature to judge not only others, but ourselves, too, and thus we seek to come to terms with all that surrounds us. Leaving off with justifying our innate need to categorize and place a stamp upon everything and everyone is to become enlightened, indeed, Fay.

Great poem. This poem is a great reminder not to be too harsh with our judgements.
