The Wheel

Thought stirs essence.

A quest incites

energy

born exploding a singularity.

 

Colourful bursts of vibrant kaleidoscope brilliance

shatter the darkness.

Light streams,

swirls magically in whirlpools of incandescence,

freely wrapping, vaguely knotting,

manifesting,

roaming,

gathering knowledge.

 

Endless, everlasting

through myriad experience,

illustrious time,

immeasurable emotion.

 

Occasionally

to circle back

for a day in benevolent grace,

until a dream again stirs desire

and boredom compels

to explore,

to remember.

 

No destination.

Forever somewhere.

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

Your title

Dear Judy, I think the title for your poem is a good one. For some reason, sometimes when I read poems at Neopoet, my eye doesn't catch the title before I begin reading the piece. It was that way with your poem. When I began to read it again, I saw the title and felt more in tune to the overall movement of the poem. I imagine sitting at the breakfast table daydreaming by the light streaming in through the window. My favorite stanza is this one: Thought stirs essence. A quest incites energy born exploding a singularity. because it describes clearly the thought process from idea to the energy it creates in wanting to explore. And what follows is that exploration: Colourful bursts of vibrant kaleidoscope brilliance shatter the darkness. Light streams, swirls magically in whirlpools of incandescence, freely wrapping, vaguely knotting, manifesting, roaming, gathering knowledge. And this stanza with the couplet ending brings the poem full circle giving an excellent example of internal logic: Occasionally to circle back for a day in benevolent grace, until a dream again stirs desire and boredom compels to explore, to remember. No destination. Forever somewhere. A thought begins in one place, goes off in a myriad of direction, gathers momentum then finally returns, settles in until it's carried off again with no destination I have to say that this poem is all I need of poetry today. Thank you for the blessing. Lisa

thank you monalisa

it's nice of you to ask, i'm glad you like this poem i was aware of the multilayers to what i was writing, and i'm just as happy with the interpretations others have made. here as in another poem of mine - 'i am' - i have been toying with the concept of creation - who/what/how/where/when we are and the idea that all is thought manifest. i don't think i've managed to say it yet, as no one really picked up on that aspect of either of these poems. back to the drawing board i guess. thanks again for your question and comment. love judy
