out of the rain

photography by stefan beutler

 

 

silently sing to me
during the nonsensical intermissions of life
show me that curved lines
make far more sense than straight ones
in this multi-dimensional world
go ahead 
contradict me
‘cause life has tricked me
don’t answer my questions
make me forget them
logic is highly overrated
and ofttimes exaggerated
it’s been a long journey
but i am here
steer me to your safe haven
get me out of the rain

... "curved lines
make far more sense than straight ones
in this multi-dimensional world"...
and in/on those curved lines we go and we come and some how return to some places we have been before ~ hope with a bit more of knowledge! ~ the rain! We can be out in the rain and I'm sure you will never become "wet" and go on shining!

:: a very interesting piece of writing... i personally think that our hearts are very logical... but that just might be my (odd ?) way of justifying my habit of always following my heart...

[Lydia Shutter]

I appreciate you sharing your take on the poem. Lydia

'the nonsensical intermissions of life' -- I like that..

'don't answer my questions make me forget them' -- another line I really enjoyed and made me stop to think..

she's longing for an escape from all the defined lines...nice write.

[Lydia Shutter]

Yes, you understood completely. We all need to just let go of the questions sometimes and let life be as uncomplicated as possible. Thank you once again. Lydi*

[K. Louis]
