PREDESTINED
Cobwebs and dustbunnies
have no place here…..
The task at hand is commanding
as well as demanding,
my life is like that of the huge open desert,
with an oasis on the other side,
except there is no direct trail-
I must create the path
the path of the journeyman.
Beauty isn’t in the material,
but in the feeling brought on by the material,
yet,
I can’t seek the same feelings,
from the same things-
life is in the newness,
the freshness. THE MOMENT
I know I can’t receive the feelings from that which has already passed me by.
Continuously…....
I have to place one foot in front of the other-
I must seek it,
that which I know is there
That rhythm.
That vibe.
The Harmony.
I am forever the journeyman,
and will furnish,
live in,
and eventually clean out-
many rooms.
Time in itself is change,
in this case…
growth.
To remain the same size is slow suicide,
time is the changer.
7:01 am IS different
then 7:00 am WAS,
yet it comes again and again,
everyday,
but not in the same way,
because of me
I mature with each passing moment,
my understanding deepens,
my comprehension expands,
I develope,
evolve
empty-
then refill.
The process is detailed.
Infinite.
My journey will never end
MARKEZZACKUI,
poetry
is
me.
I am a journeyman

MarkezzAckui ... replied
it’s nice to be loved :))))) I really couldn’t wait to put this out here. I had a few things that were out of my control that prevented me from getting to Redbubble…..but I am so glad I did. Our conversation helped as well….when you gave me the verbal/visual of how to post a link. Thank you for helping me with that. You understand my learning style. That was cool…..this is one of my favorite pieces at the moment because I was able to put all of me in this….what I really feel….and the direction I am moving in. this is not a joke. I feel this is what I am born to do. I can’t wait to see what we build….something will come from our meeting…no doubt.
Thanks for the heartfelt comment.

You are THE journeyman….
I’m speechless…you are a tower of strength and I wish I could rest in your arms for just a minute xxx
MarkezzAckui ... replied
I’d glady accept you my dear:))))
Thank you for this comment Lisa. I felt a little different when writing this one. It took several weeks for it to finally come together. sometimes it’s like that for me. I’ll start something and it just doesn’t seem to want to come together…..and then one day out of nowhere….I can go back to the very same words…and the feelings I am feeling and want to convey through words just seem to come out…and this was one of those pieces that just came together like that. I had some trouble with the picture I was going to use :))).....I believe this one is doing just fine.
Thank you for this awesome comment!

You are the journeyman and the poet….the resident, the miller that is working the wheat just tondust the hard core of the Soul..
You are whatever you fell, wish and come to..
Somehow your words remind me the pace and heart of a great man that I admire for his quality and poetry.. Kahlil Gibran…came to me. Nothing to copy… it seems that the relations exist for a resonance… and your words create a resonance that is extended beyong my wits…
I have enjoyed much your writing, though I have had no time to got to your links… but I will, with heart.
