Locked within city walls
the secrets to enlightenment
Can you find the key to unlock
the mysteries of life?
Look into the kaleidoscope an
ever-changing view..and you
will see, an i/eye looking towards
a blue sky
A new age spirituality takes form
we need only open the door to
travel the streets of
our minds...

The secret to finding the way out, is finding the way in.
ReplyDeleteThere are many streets in the city of us, and many places we have yet to explore - or take in. Keep turning the kaleidoscope. The view will change soon enough.
The secret is internal and external as change is a part of life. I will always keep turning taking in the patterns of wonderment.
DeleteI don't think we can unlock the mysteries of life...it is always changing. Love opening the doors and discovering new things ~ Thanks for joining us ~
ReplyDeleteWe may not unlock the mysteries of life, but we might unlock another door of understanding/perception. I enjoyed the prompt.
DeleteYours fits the image very well.
ReplyDeleteWe'll never unlock all the mysteries. Not here, anyway.
I guess we just don't know the right combination, perhaps we need a special key to unlock the first door.
DeleteI love the "i/eye looking towards a blue sky"......beautiful. I walked a grey beach this afternoon with wild white-tipped waves. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry
DeleteI envy that walk and listening to the sounds of the waves.
To add my two penn'orth to the discussion, I'm sure we'll never know everything, but what we can reach is an acceptance of what we need to know to be in balance with the world, the universe and ourselves. Thought-provoking poem :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you added your thoughts, acceptance and balance are important in the journey, thank you for sharing.
Deletewe need only open the door to
ReplyDeletetravel the streets of
our minds...
Beautiful word-craft True! Love it!

Good morning Hank, it all starts when we open the door to discovery...
DeleteThank you!
It's a blissful moment when we think of trying to open the door to the inner world.
ReplyDeleteThat it is and we neve know what we might find, be sure to wear comfy shoes and enjoy the journey...or if you prefer go barefoot feel the road touch your sole...
DeleteI agree that we need only open the door. The door may be hard to identify.
ReplyDeleteFrank, that is a good point finding that door could be an adventure.
DeleteSo many streets to go down, but then getting lost can bring the fun. As long as it stays in our mind and not out in some sketchy place lol
ReplyDeleteHaha I think I’ve been lost a time or ten..one has to watch those dark corridors...
Delete"open the door to travel the streets of the mind" What a wonderful phrase. There is a mystery in this piece of street art...the ever -seeing eye....the fishtail/nautilus/hair/snake off to the right...are we but parts of the ocean only walking upon the earth? I've always loved the image of a kaleidoscope and it fits so well with this image. Your idea of looking within to discover....a wise adage indeed. Thanks so much for participating in the prompt!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun prompt! I noticed what I perceived as a blue river flowing from her head. Well, our human bodies consist of water, so I would say we are connected to the moon and tides. I chose to focus on the eye chakra as it speaks to me. The whole is an amazing piece of visual art!
DeleteThank you!
Maybe we cannot find it, but I think the purpose might be searching.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, you are right it is the quest..
Deletewe picked the same pic. all through mine the locked door was haunting me. i'm glad you addressed it, and so well.
ReplyDeleteI picked up on that locked door right away and I knew I had to find a way to open it, Thank you for visiting and commenting. I find it interesting to read different perspectives from the same art.
DeleteThis is very intriguing, True. I believe there is a new age of spirituality.
