The Inner Being Speaks Poem by Tom Billsborough

The Inner Being Speaks

Rating: 5.0


Sing your mantras to the conditioned soul.
But not to me.
I am the chemistry which triggers all
And have no time to pause
In meditation.
I work in isolation
And constantly maintain my structure,
My ever changing sculpture,
Feeding in complexities and themes
eclectic dreams,
which he may turn to poems if I choose,
But only if I choose!

The still point of awareness where every breath is a prayer. And from there to do or not to do. Thoughtful poem Tom (my favourite subject) and I agree with you about T Aquinus

Yes, and Dante also, Norah. The Purgatorio is beyond beauty, though I'm not so good a theologian to fully comprehend the Paradiso.

I love the relentless intensity of the inner being who in ever constant flux cannot pause to entertain the interference of the external. Love the first two lines. Another piece that engages the mind and the heart. Thanks, Tom- always a pleasure.

Thanks for your comments. Consciousness is a subject I like to explore. Perhaps it's the ultimate mystery.

I think I'm with Thomas Aquinus on free will and the responsibility that goes with it.
