Between Mind and Body Standing half visionary A final thing beyond reality Dangling notebooks of nourishment Groping for treasure Swaddling the grave to heart For life again holds close no mortal song But great pulp of twine lacing soul Soaking blood of unknown tendons Quaint inhuman sense in ordinary living Like a void of declaration learning to live Together with splendor, making completed worlds Defying laws of nature Color and consistency of goldenseal Vitamin of lovers reaching identical Variants of pearl showered nights Possibility summer has no limits…if we move Truth of what we perceive Dropping in wads of artesian wells Moonlight floating within great watercolors Praying like a Greek religion Latin words falling into my hungry cupped palms Directory of philosophical timelines Assembled side by side with a period Reminding in spirit Characters of actions Attention turned to the conduit of human Molecular particles shaping by chance Devotion to tranquility…loving nature Collecting pieces of life’s sensory knowledge Subversive expression Emanating outwards and beyond Taking me with it… From the fringes of inner space Well-suited being Virtue by discipline Into an eternal existence…concept of essence In those who not only view them, but first perceive them I am that sense, that state, that way of self-interest Alternative versions and hypothetical doubt Surrendering to the monarch That church of observation Philosophical teller of tales Supposed in requirements The certainty of my life Drawing true nature and content Approaching the fire, deliberate This has no motive for deception Where I am the will discovering truth Power of believing….ascends Circular vortex Understood as a being of essence Within a popular world there I stand, half visionary |

You are nothing short of a great writer... a special gift of imagery and metaphor. I really enjoy reading your work, Lee!  |

As always, I find multiple layers of meaning within your writes, and as always, I know I will return to this piece again later to absorb more. |
