I am mistyfied
by what others
seem too want
to purge on us,
by the power invested
in their own
minds and hearts.
I am truely stunned
by the force
that covers us all
in flakes of silence
that we, all of us
seem to take this
in such stride.
We are the truth,
the Touchstone's
of this world,
the ones that see
in colors of
another rainbow
that pass through
others like x-ray.
We sit and ponder
at the relivance
of pain and love
and that they
both have the same
thing going,
for each one tags
our hearts.
I am amazed,
that we can simplify
what others cannot
and yet lame duck
our senses
as nothing more
than folly.
I wonder when
the poets
shall rise up
in word and prose
and tell everyone else
this is life,
this is true love,
forget your cynasim
and follow us.
