From the cortex chambers ventriliquists speak
with their distant voices probing
the soul's quiet palace.
They demand necessities: Amen -
and forgiveness; they repair despair,
teaching lessons from straw to sticks to bricks.

Yet what sad reality, the acceptance of
the mediating value of lies,
when the truth was never better.
Why is it some disguise body and mind,
until they are forced into the open
exposed by their glib shallow rote?

While, all the voices in the palace,
ventriloquists of inner thought,
remain quantum reminders,
that from the heart, to the great light that fills the sky,
all accept the gift of consciousness - and in the end,
it comes down to the truth of the matter.

Love the way you ended this one, Eric.

Thanks Michael glad you appreciated that phrase, a lot of things to be repeated for
emphasis by the language of poetry it's a lot of enjoyment sometimes, oils the rusted hinges of doors not opened for a while..... Eric

Eric...This sounds like a visit from memories of long ago. Sort of a Bob Dylan song comes to mind. Really enjoyed...Paul

Really liked your reply to Michael about a lot of things to be repeated for

Paul, thank you for the visit and for the fine comments. This was not meant to be a lyric it's just a straight unconventional type of poetry. anyway working on other things that are more lyrical. Thanks appreciate your visit.
