Beware of them who do not mourn
for they have swallowed bitter seed
that will tear their innardscorn
and ripen into bad fruit trees.

Keep watchful eye on the dry orbs
that do not have the sense to cry--
those eyes were mine and twice forlorn;
and oh forgive me--I was blind.

Them whose tummies are so swelled
from swallowing their fears, I'll pray
they will learn to feed themselves
and live to learn another way.

My silences make much more sense
than any logic disciplined;
and I am now open-broken--
I place the pieces mosaic.

Unless you're lost you can't be found.
Go too high? You'll love the ground.
Kissing terra firma, bruised -
beware of them professing truth.

It's individual.

Yo dear Serenity blaze,

Indeed, truth is individual.  This is nice work.  

Love Bobby

I can't even begin to document all the ways my mind went as I read this... It zipped from times when my eyes seemed to never dry to the Declaration of Independence... which should give you a glimpse of the scope. *S*

And yet I find myself back at the first thought that formed... WOW!!!!
