Over the Himalayas (October 2016) - “Sunlight streamed through grumbling storm clouds that played like tiger kittens around the mountain ridges.” ― Jane Wilson-Howarth, A Glimpse of Eternal Snows: A Journey of Love and Loss in the Himalayas

What I guess

What I know
What I don't know
What I doubt
What I guess

Who I know
Who I don't know
Who I guess
Who I trust

The ink
Frozen into the pen
Like a compass
In distraught

In a paralytic
Quest of words
A motionless
Contemplation

The precious words to choose
The precious words to tell
Or to keep mute
Gazing at
The certainty
Of the instant

The torpor
Of voluntary
Amnesias
A black veil
Transcended by the dream

The persistent
Incomprehensible
Pounding of
The blood pulse

To go
Beyond
The soft waves
Of cottony thoughts
To race into the fight
To smile
Against the heaviness
Of the anvil

A Big Thanks for reading and commenting John! I now think I should have given that title to the poem: 'Working against the anvil'.. :)
