I do not understand but I see the truth

 I do not understand but I see the truth
Why my tornado is resting now
And gone back to the groove
Of sleepiness, relatively calm
And my bright spheres now dancing
In freaky circles in its event horizons
 
Oh yes, now I understand
I will not drink deep to forget my troubles
But sleep deep to uncover the ease
For our ancestors taught us these
They taught us how to go deep with the night into the darkness
And unearth the herbs that cure our troubles
When we awake with the morning rising
And rediscover ourselves
                                        Our rebirth.

Good one Golly

Well written and a good message on the correct way to renew the body and spirit. Well done. Now for my nitpick of it. Here at this site poems do not lend themselfs well to centering causing it to be difficult to read. I and most others prefer to read them left justified as it has a neater appearance and easier to read. Centered on paper is nice, but on the screen here it doesn't work. Again, good poem! Respectfully, Rett: "We can all be thankful that Picasso wasn't a plastic surgeon." Rett

thanks Rett

for stopping by to read. I believe the solution to solving one's problems is definitely not "Alcohol" but to go deep in the silence of oneself to let all "Matters" settle down, then you wake up, you put all things in their respective order. Glad you alway come my way. Best wishes. Wonder.

Thanks

for sharing in my thought... there are times when we are weighed down and it seems the world is crushing down on us. It doest mean we should "DRINK". There is a whole "LIFE" ahead
