Neither here
nor here
I find myself in the
middle of my somewhere or
to the left of your nowhere
I colour the continuums
of all of our paradoxical extremes
and sink into complexity
failing to understand
the many versions of me
Time rusts and comes to a crawl
when we age with the dust of our land
Kind souls offer wisdom in the form of advice
they would rather hear themselves
Failures in our life hurt less
than the failures we end up
imagining in our head
We’re all living in between
waking and dreaming
in margins or under a spotlight
in a sprint or a marathon
all to traverse the distance
between being limited to
become limitless

Yes, that is a great way of putting it, Rahul, We all “… traverse the distance
between being limited to
become limitless.” It’s quite a journey, isn’t it? It doesn’t always have to include imagined failures in our heads, though. Imagine the successes… go for it!!

In the realm of ‘spirit’ we are limitless, or at best, we have the potential to be. But most time that realm is the one less explored, or the last one we arrive at. Doing too much outwardly when all that, we have to leave behind when our time on this earth comes to a close. And then what do we take to the spiritual world? hmm. Your lovely poem brought me here today. Thanks so much. Be well.

So true. I have started exploring the inner journey more than the outwards journey and it fills me with more joy even if the journey is tumultuous. Hope you are well too!

Reminds me of the thought – a person who thinks more than necessary suffers more than necessary. But it’s so true, these thoughts have a way of eating into the positive aspects of our lives

Yes and from the suffering comes lessons. But yes better to act out your thoughts than wait for them to eat your positivity.
Thanks for your perspective!
