Sometimes it takes a fool ...

All what we think
Is already gone
All what we see
Already passed
Every moment a new
Every heartbeat
The first
The last
What you grasp
Let it go
Give it away
Every drop
Of wisdom
Soul
Give it away
Let it flow
The river
Never the same
…
Our foundations
They may be crumbling
And in our path
We might be stumbling
Yet
Sometimes it takes a fool
To see
Beyond the mirror
The cup broken
Sometimes it takes a fool
To swim up the stream
And sometimes we need to forget it all
To remember
What we already are
…
The candle and the moon
In the quiet waters
The way out is in
It runs between you and it
Them and they
Here and there
Always new
Always where it ever was
Always
…

You are very welcome

There once as a guy called Laffoe
Whose kind of a poet, you know
To the finish from start
He writes from the heart
When he posts it he just lets it go.

Good to see you my old friend

a reply to: TerryMcGuire

I once read a poem of Laffoe's
It was not like some regular Joe's
As I uttered each word
I most definitely heard
A bit of myself in the prose

When we let ourselves be in the moment
Where we experience ourselves and the world just as it is
Without concepts, analysis or judgments to put in between us and what is
We realize there is something of us in it all
And something of everything in us
That whords cannot really share
But I know of what you speak

Beautiful.

Thank you my friend

Ah, most excellent. The final three lines just roll off the tongue in perfect meter. Wrapped around perfect sentiment as well. Kudos.
