The close of a poetic week...

Poetry is evidence that there is a lot of stuff kicking around inside all of us.

At times oblique, poetry causes us to scratch our heads to understand what the hell the poet really had in mind when he dashed off his or her poem.

When melodic, it charms us into dancing or makes us feel like we are riding the ocean waves. Sometimes poems actually make us want to sing.

When disturbing, poetry makes us consider our own feelings and thoughts about life.

Always, poetry makes us look inside for answers, and very often the questions--that underlie our most momentous journeys through life to find meaning and purpose.

This past week has been an interesting journey for me--a form of meditation if you will. Stay tuned...there will likely be more.
