The Late Bloomer Baby Boomer - 12 Poem by Richard Wlodarski
The Late Bloomer Baby Boomer - 12
The Late Bloomer Baby Boomer - 12
Thirteen years of schooled education has taken its toll
Only Wolfe had recognized my true genius and awarded me
The rest followed like sheep and led Lamb to slaughter
Almost forgetting that Lamb is now one with Wolfe and won't die
Fiercely fighting for survival Lamb reaches out to Wolfe
She is within the depths of my soul and now surfaces
Animus and anima intertwined with Freud and Jung
Psychology philosophy struggling to be free
Hesse and Steppenwolf mirroring my reality
Siddharta sitting contemplating the true meaning
Days turn into weeks...
And weeks into months...
And months into years...

I have read the book Siddharth by Hermann Hesse.The book is a great philosophical write.As far as I understood, the book explores the possibility of attaining Bodhitwa by the common man. I can relate your poem in its backdrop.
2) Poetess Friend, sincerest thanks for having added this poem to your favourites!
Great book, Bharati; one that should be read by all in these challenging times. That book, TM and other forms of meditation, visualization and guided imagery have all changed by life for the better. All of them were my stepping stones to a career in social work/clinical hypnotherapy.
