The world is awash with mystical needs
and the air its caretaker, friend,  
but this like the fall of baseless ideas
gathers in pools of motionless sludge.

No ripple disturbs the mind of a fool
or wind whip the staid into action
and all becomes still, stagnant, and stale
like nourishment never consumed.

The clouds hang low o’er me today
and grey is the vision within
for unfounded ripples of whatever it is
must be as if they are not.

Mystical needs, I’m sorry to say
satisfaction is not guaranteed
or even perceived as a maybe or might
in a world bent on destruction.

You’ll never say nay for that’s not your way
but it’s mine when I cannot see
the full reason and purpose and outcome
of embedding your needs into me!

Helen / 17 January 2008

Dear Helen, you have written a powerful poem. As a  bit pessimistic I perceive it...

Those mystical needs are more felt when the material world seems to fall apart, no doubt. But still I believe we should try to recover our divine connection and if you are the target for helping another to recover it you might be the divine instrument you are meant to be.

You write beautifully always.

Love,
Margherita

Thank you dear Margherita.  You are so very perceptive but just a little correction if I may ... ... I am the divine instrument I am meant to be but not many know that so it will be our secret, yes?
