Enigmatic: Confusion Entree

Oh, my!
I just thought,
‘What happened to
My original purpose?’

I had started on
This crazy trip,
With the object of
Sharing my findings

But what did I find?
I still don’t know,
Although,
I keep thinking I do.

The pain has lessoned
But for what reason?
Could it be some transformation
Or simply less stress?

Could it be
Some natural progression
Or merely
Some temporary remission?

I cannot say
And may never know,
Oh, what a predicament!
What a pickle!

Perhaps,
I have only confused
Myself
And any who read here;

And yet, I think perhaps
My days of questing
And making word stew
Are not through.

Engulfed: Getting Involved

And so,
I come at last to,
There is no cause and effect
And there is cause and effect,

What a conclusion
But now,
I shall give up
And let myself off the hook!

Let the teachers
Do the teaching,
Meanwhile,
I shall return to writing fiction,

As this seems to be
The safest course,
Even though
I know there isn’t one!

For,
Oh, what trouble
I shall get into,
I shudder to consider!

But, ‘I might as well,’
Comes to mind,
What a reason
For such a risky enterprise!

And so,
Around the wheel
I go
Once more,

Coming back
To where I’ve been before
And flowing on
From nowhere at all.

Engrossing: Here We Go Again

No loss, no gain
And yet there is
Both loss and gain,
And, oh no, I’m off again!

Rambling on
In this silly way,
Spontaneously spewing
Foolishly,

Acting independently
And
Having no choice,
I make no sense

And even if
You can
Figure that one out,
It’s meaningless!

Such silliness
Can never be fathomable
But still
It’s essential,

For only through
Great foolishness
Can wisdom flourish,
Like a well-fertilized garden,

Cultivation is futile,
Growth impossible,
How is that so?
I do not know.

‘I keep thinking,’
Is an illusion
But what an illusion!
What an amazing dream!
