My son is a police officer...on a recent visit, we discussed the decline of today's society, it's lack of education, respect, and how mother's phone for police assistance b/c they cannot control their 7 year olds????  

Who or what is the infant in this story?  

This is dedicated to my son...David..."You have made a difference since the day you were born!" Smile and hugs

****************************************************

Hurled into a world of deep tones and thoughts
Dancing up and down in accord with unswerving snapshots
The insipid harshness of places, cool changing winds
Insecure adaptations, spewing up pricey conflicts

Checking my watch, arguing such attacks
Within our soil, smashing doors of snippety language
Vacant dark eyes rein with veils of drunkenness
Unnoticing hungers neglecting the infant

How I learn to whistle along warm oil and flames
I should blot out every thought and image maimed
For vain salted breeze blows in bonded regions
Where time and patience orchestrates weakness

Pausing to listen to the forest’s opinion
Within a helpless hour, suddenly growing doctrines
How we steel market white dreams and perfumes
With ivory toes which sees every blotting womb
Reminding me to re-read everything deep and far away
For soon an old woman will trip through Wednesday

Shifting from right to left foot, waiting doors revolve
Feeling light spring drizzle, raising nature’s brow
Sweet participation by love’s chanting Mozart
Reflective pools speaks brilliant lighthearted charts
I know each wheel will be his morning rose
So this from love, naught arrogance imposed

Guess not to earn an immovable heart
Promised thoughts lay by passion found art
Within the wife of nature’s glowing desire
For shelter lays warm over a golden fire
Coming forth from the eyes, more then flesh
Listen, my son…
For the harboring of sweet things which seldom asks

I hear iron hoofs sparkling in the distance
Comes an entourage of arrivals with sensory of submission
Encountering, “What a day!” from the nose level of air
Strange human birds….each named with hope’s fanfare
From the core of nature’s heart, springs gathered hues
By the wayfarer, perchance firelight imbues
With eager eyes and moving hands in sour light
Where nostalgia drifts within the rhyme of incite

There, a coordinator discusses inner workings
Similes the metaphors in an elevated mumbling
Revealing unrestricted astrophysical poetic mines
Writing things of narratives from polished colored time

Origin and process takes great understanding
Where the imaginations functions in tentative planning
Unbeknownst to all whom grasp the lap of silting merits
Collecting life’s all too resilient unfaithful currents

Drift upon the reef, do not turn away
For silt and fertile soils scatter in the bay
Where day breaths air and floating sand to sea
That reminds what might yet embrace to be

Excellent write, like this passage the most.

Quality is where you find it.....I just did.

I've been making it a point to read some longer work instead of my beloved ten-liners....this reinforces my decision.
