At certain moments<\/strong>
\nI am left<\/strong>
\nIn a world<\/strong>
\nBeyond<\/strong>
\nThat which is<\/strong>
\nMy own<\/strong>
\nSpeechless<\/strong>
\nIn what seams faultless<\/strong>
\nOnly to be<\/strong>
\nHereafter<\/strong>
\nUnleashed<\/strong>
\nAfter awe<\/strong>
\nUnforked tongue<\/strong>
\nSpeaking freely<\/strong>
\nTo anyone who can<\/strong>
\nHere<\/strong>
\nExperiencing such presence<\/strong>
\nUnfrayed of whoever’s might<\/strong>
\nRaze doubts<\/strong>
\nWithout distinction<\/strong>
\nOf those naked to the world<\/strong>
\nAnd wholly close off<\/strong>
\nTo any conception<\/strong>
\nOf consummate being<\/strong>
\nUnfucked<\/strong>
\nAnd irreproducible<\/strong>
\nSow what<\/strong>
\nThey attest<\/strong>
\nRibbing such hipness<\/strong>
\nI deal<\/strong>
\nWith it<\/strong>
\nAs holy inconceivable<\/strong>
\nAwe that is receivable<\/strong>
\nSoully redeemable<\/strong>
\nOar simply unspeakable<\/strong><\/p>\n

This poem is an ode to the wondrous nature of life and the blessed certainty of certain experiences that expose us to truths that cannot be accessed by the mere triangulation of facts.\u00a0 Also, this poem is a tribute to the conundrum faced by poets and prophets everywhere where the most deeply experienced truths leave us speechless and yet call us out to speak freely about that beyond that which can be bought.\u00a0 The gossamer armor of poets and prophets is easily pierced by those prone to cynical pokings.\u00a0 Cynics and sadists get perverse pleasure in crying out, “I don’t buy it.”\u00a0 To which poets and prophets can only respond “exactly.”\u00a0 Skepticism is so much more easily packaged and neatly priced — for those who proffer such things — than the freely given intimacy of a singular truth.<\/p>\n

I find myself drawn to the phrase, “I was struck,” as a way to describe this immediate and direct experience of truth, free of the “means” inherent in the commerce of daily life.\u00a0 Being struck implies something palpable, perhaps even enough to get the attention of someone who usually requires getting hit on a bit to get them to pay attention.\u00a0 Still, the shared truth is more wooing than getting hit upon.\u00a0 The unspeakable force of this truth is manifest simply by paying attention.\u00a0 The palpability is more akin to breathing or a heart beating, the present necessity of life finding its way into the world but neglected, taken for granite in a more concrete whirled.\u00a0 The familiarity of this world of steal leaves us petrified and orphaned in a world parently without much forbearance.\u00a0 The ostensibly passive voice of “being struck” intimates another actor, another subject, tendering an offer so tender that its import counters boarders difficult to cross.\u00a0 The nourishment is present to those who can fiord to see.\u00a0 Nonetheless, in loo of moral fiber, many constipating skeptics promptly pooh-pooh any such experience; and to their wonderment are unimpressed by what remains.\u00a0 Mean wile, scorn points at the quiet telling, at what is dumb founded.\u00a0 The inescapable forest of logic is stumped. The prize paid is too ironically fined that missing peace in their puzzlement.\u00a0 Re-covering truth is a threadbare undertaking.\u00a0 Aww, to be borne again!\u00a0 Awe natural is the only propriety birth day suits.\u00a0 Veracity is no wear to be found.\u00a0 Perhaps the best we can do is to strike a pose and hope that there is more to come than leaving them in stitches.\u00a0 There is sow much more than making an offer, that one scant refuse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
