It Dwells There’s nothing that can hide so well Without odor, without a smell And dwells within a mind of gray And keeps reality at stay. It slinks within an omni dark And rouses us in silent bark That plays upon a nights refrain And loosens dogs in symbols reign. It oozes through the bars of sleep And causes us to sigh and weep It hangs an embers burning glow Around the neck of what was so. And thought we turn and twist in fret It makes its way in sleep to let And causes rage within a seem And often makes us cry in dream. It makes you look your house of glass And wish you had an overpass. |

It slinks within an omni dark And rouses us in silent bark That plays upon a nights refrain And loosens dogs in symbols reign. ======================================== That one verse alone is cooler than I have words for...the symbolism...the imagery...the word play ... the cadence ... and the oh so clever intend of the inspire.... and the closing couplet takes the cool even higher!!! You rock and it rolls me ![]() Makes me *winkiewinkie* too. *L* ![]() ![]() ![]() "Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky ... |

A very very fine piece...save one thing, and it's likely me...I don't understand the second to last line. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
