Would you see me thus,
head up and to the side
eyes searching in the air
ears attuned to nothing there?

And so it is, I do
sometimes sit and stare
silenced by my ignorance
yet honoured by the view
not seen but sensed and known.

And as the silence presses me
up against a wall
the energy of one in awe
sinks helpless to the ground
defeated in the wish
to impact reality.

Thus in the pose
life moves my goals around
and contemplative studies
reach no conclusive end
or set my feet in concrete.

Suffice it to say
I remain disturbed today
and thus it can be said
I still love my view of you
not seen but sensed and known!

You wrote this beautifully.
And I must say, from experiences of my own, for someone without concrete, you are very well grounded, even in your flight.

Hugs,

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.
