Awakening
by Anne EngelenFeeling lost, aimless in life
is the result of taking my battle
of independency too far
As a winner I stand alone
Im my own person
Once....shouted proud
Now....Im down and out
Still my own person
But what does that mean?
Total D E T A C H M E N T
Its not a dream
A living nightmare thats what it is
When you pull away from life
from the surrounding world
You cant hide from the real you
As part of a bigger whole
I too have to play my own role
As trivial as that may seem
Its the missing link in the total scheme
Trying to connect to life itself
Searching my way
Accepting my tinyness in this universal setting
Is the beginning of growth
Hoping to find a way
to finetune in on the important issues
of being (human) and the purpose of my life

| Posted by JD Clay on 10/26/02 at 03:33 PM Nicely stated Anne. Very introspective. I like the title and see by the text you have come to the realization that detachment is the key. The question then remains, detachment form what? Those answers can only come from within, through the process of transcendence from knowing to being. I for one look forward to the sequel. Peace... |

| Posted by John Harder on 10/29/02 at 07:55 PM i liked the way you wrote "detachment" the stretching of the word defines it. very clever. i'm also amazed at how many comments you get. this one work of yours has nearly as many as i have in total. i guess that means you're a good writer. what's that say about me? hmmmmm :) |
