    Spinning in the Spools of Solitude
    I am a wealth of things both majestic and small,
    grand to no one in particular
    but giving and making things brighter and better in my own way. 
    Pleasant and sound when the sun is full, 
    aching to be the quiet in the late of day. 
    Dawn arrests me, while in the night I have dreams of plenty.
    Never speaking of the beast within me, but for my thoughts, I'd only take a penny. 
    My mind a weave of woven baskets that all hold my inner soul, 
    the length of which only God may ever really know. 
    And I would never ask him to show me the picture all at once, 
    because before my body blends back into the earth, 
    my journey once complete before it is all said and done.

    Strong inner feeling. Like the poet has traversed the self many many times. Questioning, challenging, considering. It reminds me that we have to figure ourselves out. Its not going to do it on its own. The poem itself speaks as if it enjoys the journey, regardless of how conflicting it may be. Enjoyed this read.

    You ALWAYS SEEM TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE REAL ME AND WHAT SHE IS TRYING TO SAY! whats funny is when I write something months maybe even years later the meanings have new interpretation... But you always seem to read it right off! Always enjoy your comments!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
