levels of revelation

edited September 2011 in Poetry, Prose, Music & Art
In my young years, I was remarkably silent in words
(but I made a lot of noise with music)
'til gradually, I started to talk about my feelings
drip, drop, I'd reveal a bit of what I was thinking about
those embarrassing things
(or, in my closed young years, those things I THOUGHT were embarrassing)
more time, more words
more time, more arguments and pain
why was there so much pain with talking?
I don't know.
I really don't.
more time went by and I practiced using words on paper
practiced and practiced
'suppose some of it was good, some wasn't
but it helped my mind to pour it out
(it probably helped my heart more)
and then more time went by and
I thought I was accustomed to being expressive with words
(I did!)
but, I think, if I'm honest,
there's still a level of revelation I haven't mastered yet
and I think I have to master it
why not talk about floating off on the air current of an enchanting vision?
why not talk about confusing feelings?
why not contradict oneself and make no sense sometimes?
and, WHAT ABOUT being brave enough to bore people occasionally?!!

    As I see it, the main issue with what we reveal is that you never know how people will react.
    And, you never know whether the words coming out are incredibly stupid or spot-on!
    I feel that's where the risk is. :?

    levels of revelation....

    like walking with your eyes closed
    cause you don't know how to open them

    autoreflex

    they pop open


    you see something new and meaningful
    that was there all along
    close enough to touch to feel to know

    divine intervention on the path to make you you

    :D

    I was thinking more about your thread ... 8-)

    revelation is really simple understanding ... a simple ...

    'I get it'

    one day we don't ... next day we do

    but what happened to cause this?

    Is it the heart working with conscious thought?

    that in turn works with our daily experience and those we consciously embrace.

    So that it is from others that revelation comes .... interaction

    understanding the world through another's eyes

    I watched my cool sci fi movie from 2000, it is a favorite

    'Supernova'

    it touches on evolution, revelation, life in the universe, replenishing life by
    destroying it to bring a survival of the fittest outcome

    and its quite entertaining and a little scary exciting

    Perhaps there is a supernova heading our way in 2012 to bring a new evolutionary
    change, a level of revelation as we have not seen since the dawning of man.

    We can only hope to witness good changes, a power of positivity/love in our world.
    A revelation bomb that hits the human race.

    "and, WHAT ABOUT being brave enough to bore people occasionally?!!"

    Risk taking in being creative-- I love it!! Nice work, justam! :D
