Descartes Filled Whisper Wells

Pleasant yearning overtakes the stillness
Required here, only for the turquoise brought to water
In prayer, my heart recants fluently its needs
Pondering the wetted hollows of canyon sighs
Measuring the angle of repose, sifting first the soil
Then accounting for the heights of sky
Winter here is far from dry

Deluge of emotions rain in me
While faith encircles shuddered shoulders
In its intuitive knowing, all will be well, even still
Cascading circles top the surface, nurture of nature
Lest my lips be plump, or my hips be flat
Landscapes worth exploring are not rigid

And if the ration of reason would be chisel
Then I am but the broken flakes of granite faces
Good stock, in the pond of my own potential
Beauty is timeless, so I will rub oil into muscle
Let yearning gather in a hidden lake
Crochet lace above the knee
And paint a shamrock
In secret places
Near the falls

Well, he always promoted unprejudiced search for the truth, that's a for sure.
I like how you've linked your feelings up with the same approach with a delightful amount of ambiguity.

This is very nice....

WOW. Too many outstanding lines to focus on one. Sensual earthy imagery, tastefully presented.

I always enjoyed reading Descartes, perhaps, 'tis time to read again.

This is excellent.
I love the voice and the images.
