Rebirth Poem by Tom Billsborough

Rebirth

Rating: 3.0


Within our dark and secret sea
Soundlessly we grow
In our suspended state
With the sure flow
Of intravenous drip-feed
nutrients providing
All we need,
A world at peace,
The nirvana we were promised.
Imagine then our rage
When suddenly we are beached
To blinding light
Into a world
Of unintelligible noise
In a room where sudden jerky
Shadows loom,
Menacing and out of focus.
Not readily do we know
The reasons for our presence there,
Not then, and very rarely after.
And yet we grope for answers
To erroneous fate.
So now to seek
that blissful state again
We curl up in a ball
And entering the tide of reverie
We set sail to meditate and find
The still calm within our beings
The truth of origins.
We may yet fail,
But if the heart sings well,
Some notes may form a pure tune
To bring us back to peace and harmony.

But if the heart sings well, Some notes may form a pure tune To bring us back to peace and harmony... is beautiful. Sometimes the mystery of our appearance in this planet gives so many reasons all returning to the same points where they have started. Very nice.

Yes, Anil. Perhaps when we write we are seeking that way back. I would always believe writing brings us closer to understanding, even if it can be frustrating at times. Tom Billsborough

I take multiple times during the day to go into to deep thought, purging myself of negative and seeking answers; if only my own. A 10

I appreciate this poem it's a hard thing to express meditation I have meditated since my teens.its lovely when the mind is quiet but its also fine when it's busy and doing its thing I feel the stillness through your words I like the lines we set sail to mediate and find the still calm within our being It feels like even the one who is meditating falls away. What a journey and what an adventure it all is.thank you Tom
