The Fence of Discontent

The Sunday Muse

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


How long will we perch on this fence
living in a world filled with discontent

to understand raven's hidden darkness
unravel the madness of consciousness

to understand deep wisdom of the owl
into the night you might have to prowl

even the dark skies, have stars to delight
leading us towards the morning sunlight

even the light, has moments of unease
grey clouds linger, shapes & forms tease

tethered, our souls long to be set free
from this vantage point it is hard to see

traveling between the light and dark
daring to dream, to the song of the lark

how long will we perch on this fence
living in a world filled with discontent

  1. At least until the Eagles stop patrolling the skies.

    I love the poem; the questions posed, and the longing. It works for people... sometimes. As a former wilderness guide, I can tell you that both the owl and the raven (or crow) fly in the same sky with the eagle... and take their chances.

    1. The prey and predator, survival the name of the game it seems.

  4. Beautiful and heartfelt thoughts flow in this lovely poem Truedessa. It takes a big and open heart to ask the questions that must be asked.

    1. To find answers we must first ask questions. Maybe, then mysteries can be unraveled. Thank you for your kind comment.

  5. If any bird can unravel the madness it is liable to be the Wise Owl. My conclusion, you did really well on this. Thank you for good read.

    1. Thanks Jim, I think the owl knows more than we can comprehend.

  6. I adore owls. And ravens. I am convinced that our species could (should?) learn from them both.

  7. A long time, apparently, since our political factions both seem couched in cement.

  9. Yes, how long? We dont seem to know that beauty and positives are still possible, so accustomed have we grown to toxicity. I hope we are experiencing a shift now.........we live in hope. Your poem is beautiful.

  11. We definitely are living in a world of discontent, unlike anything I have experienced in my life up to now.
