Untamed truth |

Beneath and below this manner of being or maybe across on the far distant isles a completely personal and untamed truth roams free in its need to be. Lost somewhat it wanders like me in the footsteps of those gone before testing, testing, the protective device draped over a humble existence. Move and it moves in motion unseen, stay and it stays in allotted time frames, quite ill prepared for an inner assault by a battalion of human shortcomings. And suffering so in a place I can’t know it bows to the force of it all a beaten and fallen opponent of man in the dirt of blithe un-acceptance. “I live, I live”, truth cries out in vain into the tunnel of human disgrace winding and snaking a deep imprint into an uncertain future. But somewhere, somewhere, under the sky truth breathes and feeds most carefully to allow for embryonic growth in tandem with the rise of times soon to require honesty. And so it’s a story but maybe one day, maybe, maybe, one day truth will awake fully grown and mature in the deep down dungeon of soul and climb the stairs ten, twenty, a time to arrive before the last supper!

I hope you find the truth you are looking for although I wonder if we ever can really tame "truth". Whose truth is it anyway...a feeling I hold inside for myself.  M |

Hi, M. Yes, you are quite right and when one lives that "truth held inside" and not the truth that is expected through conditioning and circumstances then and only then has "truth" been tamed. Not many can do it so perhaps we compromise sometimes unwisely and also perhaps unknowingly. Thank you so much for the read. |
