All We Are
Understanding comes to one who seeks with no station, no fortune, no future.
Discerning our ultimate truth we perceive these moments are bait in a luna sea.
Where hides the home of our wonder? Who commands the arrows of time? We stand outside the rainbow tribe. We ponder.
All we are is now to be. All we are is now to be. All we are is now to be.
This is my entry to the PoetryDice Challenge Week 13. As always thanks to @rensoul17 & @robyneggs for all the work hosting and judging. They're bringing lots of good writers out into the open. Thanks!
I've italicized my usage of the cubes in the poem. While most of the cubes are easily recognized, some are more abstract in their interpretation. Apple is "Understanding". Sheep is "with no station etc". Eye is "perceive". Fish is "bait". Moon is "luna". House is "home". Arrow is "arrows". Teepee is "rainbow tribe". The last three lines refer to the state of mind attained when pondering with Mary Jane, profound but unable to continue further.
I hope you've enjoyed it! Thanks for reading.
