Glowing, glimmering, in a bright hue,
The light beckons to men of old,
Seductively whispering in shadow-laden hues
And calling for decisive action:
"Do not go gently, nay, go boldly into the dark,
Go forth and seek the truth;
The truth that many attempt to grasp
But inadvertently let slip through their fingers."
And, just like that, with a brief flicker, the light disappears into the dark, begging pursuit.
Do we chase swiftly after it?
Or, perhaps, tread precariously on unlit ground,
Not knowing where our footsteps fall?
One thing is for certain - those who seek it out,
They do so for the sake of the call.
The call to which millions of ancient hearts surrendered,
The call that those who need it most strain to hear.
And somehow, as if by a swift miracle,
The call seeks out a precious few.
Why, then, must so many remain blind and mute?
To be mere meters from the light, and yet so far?
An astonishing thing, this scintillant spark of soul,
That illuminates the inner sanctum of man,
If he provides the sustaining fuel.
Indeed, do not go gently into the dark,
Nor let the light elude your grasp.
It is yours if you choose to accept it...
...believe, and it shall be so.

I don't believe myself blind or mute for walking my own path.
But this was beautifully written, and it's clear that this comes from within you.
---------------------------------
The focal point of the piece is the universal truth of the law of attraction...that is, we attract to ourselves what we think about. Personally, I don't think that anyone is exempt from this truth, but a lot of people are certainly blind to it.

You know, gofer, I hadn't even picked up on that little error until now. I had meant to find a better adjective for "hue" in the first sentence but must have forgotten about it before I hit 'Submit.' Thanks for the reminder, anyhow.

I was going to dock you for hue and hues then I read every other entry and realized that would be damn silly of me. Good show, Captain.

You can't fool me. I know this poem is about sex...
I just can't figure if it's about doggy style or butt???

I read this a couple of days ago and am only now commenting. Apologies.
Excellent, excellent work. Fluid in its movements, lyrical, gorgeous. I'm incredibly jealous.

Fuck me.......
Not in the literal sense, but you know what I mean.
I have no sense of poetic critique, I just have a sense as to what is "tripe", and what is "shiny and mettalic."
This was pure platinum, my friend.
It's clear that your musical directions have set you in good stead for this contest.
A few years ago, I used to DJ at a dive bar in Swindon, so I find it hard to interpret anything other than a 4 to the floor dance beat..... this will be my downfall, coz when I formulate words in my mind, it must come out completely different to anyone who reads it.

1.5
After reading the other entries posted as of this not-so-good Friday, yours stands as close to the top score available.
But overall, this contest has crucified my appreciation for poetry.
I await the coming of more studied entrants to resurrect my interest.

This is the best so far.
I think you could use a bit of Origami-san's flair, and he could use a bit of your lucidity.
The two of you combined would make an excellent poet, I think.
I'm rating these on a sliding scale, so if nothing better surfaces I'll return for a bump.
This was very nice.
