An Epiphany

This particular piece actually fits my own philosophical debates concerning higher questions and sometimes higher answers. (and is an excellent continuation of the previous post) I wrote it in a fit of inspiration (hence an epiphany) while traveling along the Great Ocean Road in South Australia back in 2004. It was sort of a lead in to many of the issues that I have tackled since and hope to continue to explore, and what really lead to my writing many more poems in my travels that year in Australia.

'Epiphanies'

All my yesterdays combine
at points hidden and seen,
in sweeping vistas and distant shores;
places I have longed for,
wanted, and still feel.

This fabric of being cries out,
desperate to understand these moments
counting on tomorrow's concealed joy.
Is it right to wonder
For what I know could never be?

Journeys into future's days
are lost in revelations of past beauty;
an instant of perfect harmony,
a resurgence of the unrequited,
worth the struggles, travails, and pain.

Within myself I have found
memories of the unknowable
reaching beyond time and soul
into the spiral arms
of a universe's welcoming love.

It lingers in us all...
our lives, our loves
our pain, and our sorrow;
borne from the cradle of time
yet rests in the currents of our soul.

I understand the truth
of who I might still be;
No longer waiting in a world of dreams.
