All is in the spaces
Between the lines
Composed in quiet
Desperate hope that
Escaping it will
Find release

Greater wisdom than mine
Has searched for answers
In the emptiness left
Juxtaposed against the
Knowledge words never convey

Leaving us to ponder
Machiavellian thoughts and deeds

Never quite understood

Opaque visions of insight
Parade in front of minds eye
Queerly dancing in and out
Rarely staying long enough

Still… elusive and fey

Treading on half eyed opens
Until we find ourselves
Vacantly wondering
Why we still search for the
Xenolithic truths
Yeilded in the finite
Zonation of words and lines

It's all in the importance of expression. Which you did wonderfully! At least it's in the trying that keeps us from being void.
Sincerely,

Rwood..I think you are right..it is in the trying... thanks for taking time to read my meandering..your comment is appreciated!!

Smitten... I can never look at your name that I don't picture a kitten I had years ago..cute little thing but was always smitten with a new distraction..which was usually somewhat distructive..and annoying which gave it double the pleasure I think
( grinning)

Seriously... thank you for the very nice words... and for taking the time to read and comment..it is appreciated!!

I definitely enjoyed this. I like the sense of "expansion" which is circulating in the forum lately... Good job, Ron.

everything that needs be said
can be said with just those 26 letters
perhaps we'll need several languages
to get it just right,
compiling letters into words on a line
communicating of the close encountered kind

you do so well when you're playing, kind sir, and when you are serious, you make my mind blur...not from confusion, most of the time, for you've quite the profusion of wonderful lines, vivid and powerful, lovely and sharp

have you any idea how much I like reading your stuff?''

Cpat, Ron...
you inspired me to try the opposite of what you posted, your sublime, serious post on the alphabet spawned a ridiculous poem from me in the obverse.
It's titled "Backin up to Cpat's Alpha. Play"
I hope you can find humor in it and aren't offended that your wonderful work spirited me thusly.
