I feel an all too familiar pain in my soul

As I look out through foggy glass surrounded by weathered pane

And realize that I will never be on top of anything

Not even if I take a plane to the stars

It is plain to me that my most troubled relationship

Has always been the one that I have with myself

Nice poem, Cie. Very painfully honest.

I agree with Hobbes' comment. The poem reminds me of a relatively recent anecdotal response from a Zen monk to a man studying Zen. "My life is so 'mucked-up,' said the man, "what can I do?" The monk with all compassion and courtesy replied, "un-muck it up." Easy when said like that but not so easy to do. x
