The time falls
...nearer...nearer
All the dreams glow
clearer...so much clearer

The Thunder balls in lightning
reins about around my fists
I wield with growing ardor

Felling peaks in sunrise scenes
...just to see
......a further horizon
who amongst you would deny my love

but thee object of all attentions
affection Who would dare but thee

to disjoin the sincerest ascencion you mortals
never having quaffed a single breath Elysian sweet
so mere we believe there is a chart the river Styx
Wherefore the reason uncharted a purgatory nation

Yea unto us casting a die in a dying cast reach for
and forward for the past knowledge thrown aside for
gunpowders glory Hell the partishonless aspect of
the unpunctuated treatise is hard enough to say

Why bother please retire the elder shaman say we
have met the people and they are us without bowls
or robes primitive savages they rend the earth for
stores of simple fodder mass murderers surviving All

I wouldn't think anyone would deny you....

this is a deep poem..and I am very bad at evaluating them when they are entrenched in meaning..huggz

Well now it is apparent what my mind ponders at 2:00 a.m.

Wrote this half asleep and did not realize i wandered from personal emotions to the POV of beggar monks regarding the farming of the land as pillage.

I appreciate your reading I doubt many will bother woth this veritable barrage of words.
Ah well I am often described as incomprehensible.

This had the feel of a person entering the embrace of Morpheus and once in deep sleep, sang an Opera of dynamic proportions...

incomprehensible? No. Profound? Yes....
