What is your own inner Fool saying?

Posted on Apr 1st, 2008 by Zephyr : Poeticspirit Zephyr
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for April 01, 2008:

I Am The Fool

Please don't taunt or titter
I am the fool, trancendent
I teeter on the edge of time
and timelessness. My passion 
is the universal.In awe, I ask
 
what can I create for a creator
who builds forests from an acorn
and holds the stars and planets
in the wonder of the cosmos?
Creation has my  trust and adoration

dancing in the palm of her hand.
She hands me ideas,slippery things,
little scraps I catch on paper
lest they escape and elude me.
I know I missed the boat

called perfection but my errors
are portals of discovery and there
are times when a little madness
sets me free.I close my eyes, delve
into secrets and the mystical.

My curiosity peers into a future
of infinite creative energy, of life
and death,beyond knowing,all that is,
and all that is not.There lies my muse
she asks me to leap and a net appears.

they are in essence the story of my life,
and I am not fooling!

This helps me me soooo much.  To know that my errors are ways to discover my true perfection…To know that just what I need to know to further understand life/self comes to me from a variety of sources (in this instance, you, my dear friend:)…I love it!  Thank you :)

Hi Elizabeth, yes we expect ourselves to be perfect and we find we are simply human and learning.

When I read this line, I no longer feel anxious or apprehensive about the future.  Instead, I feel comfort, peace, security…I love it!  Thank you :)

This is very neat, I had to read this to my friend in class, something about it just grabbed at my heart and soul, maybe its the fact that we all are fools in a way. Thank you for writing this.

So beautiful!  Poets like you are so amazing, and give us a new window into seeing our world and our place in it.–a new way of “seeing”   a “place” we might not without the poets of the world.

That is the flow in the universe, funny how we stumble into something that has significance for us, I do it too, just at the right moment usually.
