I have run out of words
Here I am on my very own
Nothing to say
A lot to observe
Trying to make sense of the nonsense
Struggling to locate the symmetry of the self
Promiscuous feelings confusing everything
Provocative thoughts tempting the heart
Pretentious blasphemies insulting the soul
Overwhelming ego’s cacophony
Forcing the slow brewing of mixed feelings
One big pot to mix them all
Quietly observing and appreciating what it is
Attentive to the Universe messages
Resisting the resistance to what it is
Making a conscious effort to go with the flow
Getting deep into the being
Silently conversing with the soul
Free of pretends and inflexible principles
At peace with what it is
Unconditionally loving the self

It sounds like your far along the path to enlihgtenment. May your journey be smooth. Lovely poem.
loving yourself is a great first step...travel light that journey gabriela...
Relatable, reminds me of stuff I used to regularly write ten, fifteen years ago (and still occasionally write when S.A.D. really kicks in). Good work. :)
I have enjoyed following your thoughts and will continue to do so. Beautiful poem and I love the photo of the Iguana.
" God dances with God eternally in the moment of NOW. "
Beyond the strife of ego the GodSelf awaits.
Namaste, my sister, freedom from fear...
I liked your use of alliteration. And yes, go with the flow. There is a Buddhist saying: "Don't fight against the river."
Regards.
It is great how poetry can work through such important issues.
Very spiritual. You have a nice take on life...can I borrow it? If only for a little while?

Love encompasses all; in order to give to others you have to give yourself respect, honesty, and joy.
Well written here. Thanks, Gay @beachanny
And what an amazing journey to get to the place of self-acceptance. Beautifully expressed.
Your photograph is absolutely stunning.
I love the photo and the opening stanza is perfect I am glad I came to visit you
Great journey in your poem. These are struggles that we can all relate to. Thank you for your insightful poem.
It's my belief that we ebb and flow like the tides.
When you don't feel anything wanting to flow out, it's time for you to take things in - absorb the world around you until you're filled again. Then you can once more begin to flow.
Nice One Shot, Gabi!
Dear Gabriela
The journey to the innerself, with out the ego, is one of the profound experiences... and that one experience your are very beautifully putting in words, not for us actually but for yourself too... I have always believed that putting your thoughts in words is meditative experience too...

Sometimes the hardest thing to do...love thyself!
I think the most difficult path to take.The road that will lead us to our true self!
*At peace with what it is.Unconditionally loving the self.*Love this line!
Heartfelt one shot!
I flow in and out of harmony continually. Your poem is a good description of the desire to put love over fear and spirit over ego.
so this is when you have nothing to say...? wow! well described feelings of struggling with the inner balance..sounds familiar..
Gabriel this is quite the exploration of the soul....beautiful and true...harmony does not come in peace...it comes down a rocky road to acceptance. Love this poem!
Amazing photo! It reminds me of an eye in the sky.
The photos all around your blog are amazing.
this poem just feels so mine.
I mean I can really relate to it, as if it happens to me everyday.
Wish to read more, hope i can also learn from you.
