Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Of Liquid Memories and Tears
“They both listened silently to the water, which to them was not just water, but the voice of life, the voice of Being, the voice of perpetual Becoming.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
Though the water is crystal clear
tiny bubbles distort the view
a lifetime remembered in blue
of liquid memories and tears.
And yet I have no hidden fears
of what’s coming for now struck blind
the book says ‘Seek and ye shall find’
though some answers aren’t always true–
Sometimes thoughts stumble and fall through
leaving naught but a confused mind.

Some answers we are not meant to discover. Perhaps the answer is in the seeking.

“tiny bubbles distort the view / a lifetime remembered in blue” – yes, so difficult to have a clear view of ourselves and our past.

Very true Linda. We just can’t take for granted many things that are available. Fake news for one!

“liquid memories and tears” so powerful, so true. I’ve spent so many hours lately wandering through my memories and finding for many there are no answers.
