In The Time Before New Year Poem by Glen Kappy
In The Time Before New Year
from 'Dreams and Visions'
Free of the usual—
what it requires
of my mind and body—
there are moments
in a state
that's in between
where I hover landscape
waiting dawn
to show its features
tread water strangely calm
until I see the way
to swim again.
And I can only hover, only tread—
for there is nothing I can do
no forcing of the future
my heart seeks.
thank you, akhtar. i was able, in this one, to give some idea of that feeling i have in this in-between time of year. peace. -glen
Glen, this is truly great to see you blessed as the poet of the day. What a rewarding way to end the year and begin the new year as well, with a fresh incentive. God bless you with many, many more beautiful poems.
thank you, geeta. and may you have a blessed year writing as well. i referred to you bipasha who commented below. as one who mentioned gandhi in her bio i thought she'd appreciate your poems about him. -glen
Hauntingly beautiful. Eerie. Mystical. Thought-provoking. A profoundly philosophical and spiritual poem. Truly worthy of Poem Of The Day! Congratulations, Glen!
