Its kind of and dark insight
I'm alive and looking for purpose, direction,
something to live for

The brighter thoughts and dire happieness

I can see this ocean or a spring
A fountain of trust leaning on the rocks of judgement
Is it really water or maybe more

Deep blue neon light breaking current
Solid flow

This place I'm in has hidden and obvious truth
I can see what is so apparent now

The distant voices of melody and a stern rattling crackle
The pounding of percussion and a bass line tune

This place is so hidden and yet so apparent

In the midst of the garden and an orchard
The tree of life, tall and unseen, the center of this place
The center core of this spot on no map
Just a smudge of ink, flat and level
My surroundings are digitized and surreal
Yet I'm here and have found this denied

Direction follow the path
Cuts and wounds, bleeding me
A present and unacceptance of what has become of me

Closed will remain closed until opened.

"This place is so hidden and yet so apparent"

One of my favorite topics of ponder...I did enjoy this much, m'friend.

I am curious about some of your word choices, tho---are some missing?

and the last line particularly fueled my imagination, leading me to thoughts of personal responsibility regarding paradise.

All in all, a nice think piece, g.i.s.

Enjoyed the read.

Happy holidays.
