through glass darkly




Looking

‘through glass darkly’

reflecting

a stranger.

 

Manifesting yearning

to see past the mystery of

those depths of secrecy

hiding the whole.

 

Sentience,

questions,

purpose?

 

Gazing into the mirror

looking in my eyes.

I try to see my soul.

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: Western Australia, AUS

Favorite Poets: Favourite poets? So many, so varied. I like particular songs, not necessarily the singer... and the same goes for poetry. I can honestly say though, that Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman was what inspired my love of poetry - my mother began reading it to me when I was still a baby, and it became my favourite bedtime story

Oh profound and full of the mystery of...

Ann of Norway Oh profound and full of the mystery of understanding, not understanding that is! I can sense your presence there as you gaze, the contemplation in time, time almost stopped, non existent, as you ponder and perhaps touch the core of yourself for a moment, a split second, before you loose grip again and return to pondering. Just sometimes we look at our hands and wonder whose they are... Mysteriously intriguing Judyanne, Love from Annanya.

the followng verse gives a fair description of soul-

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Yes, I may be an arnarcho-syndicalist, atheist techno-shaman, but I know my bible and know it has some good bit, if few and far between. This poem is a charm of precision, Cheers, Jess, reprehensibly irrepressible
