seal of reason

Sunset proclaims a pompous descent
falling into earth’s great billowy folds
& my pale face
learning
what the hypnotic eye
claims as it’s own

daring confidence
illuminating
future’s path
seemingly
blue waters of yesteryears

still the soul
numbing flesh
this dominance
triggers
a gang banger
breath of flame
with wings

where
“would be”
combustions
mumble
whispers
from sky screams
finding
those winding stairs
drawing dots
of purple horizons
connecting them
with farms and villages

eyes look
with absentmindedness
upon men
squinting across worlds
hardly
human
taking notes
while watching the stars
pouring cataracts
into voiceless fountains
where atmosphere
sits upon some
sunlit cloudburst
throwing pebbles & thunderbolts
in the way
pacing
back and forth
like mean lions

striking
such a blow of superstition
one can hardly
understand that priest
in the body of motion

fragments of bone whispers
like eggshells
shattered here and there
the world’s laws, glancing at
revival missions
of madmen
praying
trembling
from glimpsing truth
learning how
to look up to heaven
visioning only small things
from the peaks of tears
only to guess the great part of it
giving a whole new meaning to
“free as the wind”

I love looking through your eyes LeeJ! To quote a line from the old Elton John tune Daniel, "You see more than I" :-)
