The Many Arrows that miss the Mark ~ New Poem by Nachi
there are many moments and days in life..
when one feels..like to be an empty bowl.
a bowl that carries no meaning, no purpose
except for the time when its filled with something.
like the time when one writes a poem..
it feels to have come full attaining some meaning, role to fulfill..
it could be vanity still..or vain hope...
to give as much significance to self..and whats brewed in ones heart..
*
how many arrows of a bower can miss the mark??
one awaits its turn to come to any such meaning, purpose in life
to feel having fulfilled a sense of becoming and being...
to land every arrow in ones bow to the perfect sweet spot...
one sees the magnificence and grace in the world.
the many creations that are created in true love...
and one asks...when is it going to be me?
when is it going to be time to be eloquent, graceful and spirited soul...
when will such time come, when the incoherent words,
and silence in in ones heart will turn into poems...
poems that would stand in resonance and light,
as a testimony of the light and grace inside this heart...
its too painful to have loved and yet have not known the language to love..
to have cared..and yet not be in reckoning for ones heart...
to have loved in vain...
its as if there are other relevant things in life
of the many myriad faces of life..
which is the one that meant for this heart..
let this face be known to me...let it be filled with hope,
laughter, heart and a drop of divine element in it..
is all this heart can hope for..and wait for it to be revealed

The many arrows that miss the mark... is a honest reflection of a life ravaged by abuse, shame, mental disorders..the many unplugged holes in a life.
I dont know if the poem is any good..but the title is so beautiful and apt..just perfect to illustrate the frustration, the element of errors, mistakes, more errors, and mistakes..that take place in any such life that has more stumbling blocks than grace and faith and love...placed by the divine or the choices of a soul beforehand...
it is very annoying to see everyone hitting a mark and just being so utterly wasteful to reach anywhere near the mark...
it is so damning to be unmindful, unconscious, unprepared, unloved, surrounded and disempowered by the unknown..
one can only hope..with sadness in ones eyes..that somehow there will be a time when the arrows will hit the mark...when meaning will unfold..wholesome will gather around...when one can really feel ones self and be proud in joy..
not coming here for pity party...wouldnt make any tall claims of owning up the heart or being the only one to walk through darkness...
just honest reflection, sharing to make...
