 What Was What was that show, or was it a play, perhaps a skit…something about a brain, unplugged. So much can fill a brain. Thought alone, troubles, alone, things that are not mineral, vegetable, but intangible. So much can fill a brain. Yet, we [you, and I] talk, whisper, fear, abhor writer’s block. And sometimes we cannot discern why this mountain is but a heart still in hold yet desires to leap, what is with the stay, come, listen, I am not imagining things… something is wrong but nothing shows. Little Words. I know. Something is wrong. I feel. Odd. Snippets of honest. Tracks evaporate. I come around. Calendar weight could decide different. I knew I confided. But to whom? Do they understand? Will who I was come home again? ~*~ Any answer to the above, if not a yes, could be, should be, when on the cusp of moon as it leaves as it returns; so shall she, and then, I. ~*~ © Karilea Rilling Jungel April 30, 2006 |

Thank you for this very intimate, interesting wandering through your mind. I can relate very well. The questioning, wondering, vascilating analyses, not being able to put a finger on it, but knowing it (something? what thing?) - is there - or not there - reaching out for the elusive what? . . . Thinking - no matter whether positively or negatively - enriches us, deepens us - and no, I don't think it is possible to return to the same . . . but that it is sometimes possible to reach a better, wiser, unimagined result . . . wishing you the courage, wisdom, determination, hope, faith and tranquility to do so. Your Critique thingy says: "Tell me what pulled you in here to read, and what you may be taking away . . ." What pulled me in is firstly that it was YOUR poetry; secondly the fascination of the title - it held so many possibilities - I expected it to be purely nostalgia, which I would have enjoyed immensely, but as it so happened I enjoyed this more than immensely. What I am taking away is a pausing in my life, in my thought, and a feeling of being older (and I love being old - I am 60 - and love even more being older)and wiser and a little sadder (though I can't put my finger on exactly why) and deeper and more enriched. Thank you for the experience. - Owl |

"And sometimes we cannot discern why this mountain is but a heart" Sometimes the stone of mountains are very soft and molten at the center... Will who I was come home again?" Karilea, this just leaves me re-reading in awe! Parts of me seem lost forever, and you pen such grace to thoughts I can't speak or write. This is a stunning poem, truly lovely. ~ Karen |
