Blandness Barricades the abyss Bartered joyous white For protection from The hopeless black Demons still dance Outside the sacred circle Of ash and salt My island Of gray Caruso kept alive Survived Sans civilization Price of admission Memories Ghosts of convenient amenities Gratitude Stable attitude Chemically balanced Gray matter Still pineing For my white high |

Whoa Lori, your Muse is really trippin' today! What a brilliantly constructed piece. So many superb visuals, but I especially love "...Demons still dance Outside the sacred circle Of ash and salt..." If this is what it produces, I long for a chemical imbalance. Peace, Jim Sutra 8: Faith is not an alternative to thought: the one excludes the other. |

A H, Sometimes giving up your happiest natural highs doesn't seem worth it until you slip on the side of the abyss and realize you wouldn't have survived the fall~L |

Lori-- This is wonderful! Each stanza was so essential to the poem. What a wonderfully balanced description of the imbalance. Thank you for sharing... Shenachie |
